位于耶路撒冷的Mamilla区，Mamilla区位于耶路撒冷老城和新城的结合部。在Mamilla区，Mamilla酒店都市化风格相当明显，嵌于此起彼伏的小巷之中。
Located in what was once the no-man’s land between the Israeli and Jordanian sectors of Jerusalem, the Mamilla district forms the connection between the old and new cities. Within this district, the Mamilla Hotel is a quintessentially urban place, rising out of the network of alleys that connect the walled and the new cities of Jerusalem.
                
                
Mamilla酒店的设计巧妙地融合了古老的建筑形式和新型的现代建筑风格。由传统的耶路撒冷石灰石组成的墙壁和陶土瓦的屋顶，创造出一个与周围历史建筑的连续相容的个性。
The design of the Mamilla Hotel combines the pattern of the old with cutting-edge modernity, a strategy representative of its location between the old and new city. The walls of the hotel are rendered in traditional Jerusalem limestone and the roofs are terra-cotta tile, creating a material continuity with the surrounding historic buildings.
                
                
Inside the hotel a paired-back, minimalist aesthetic contextualizes and frames the historic Jerusalem architecture. Traditional rough-faced running-bond masonry walls meet walls of the same material rendered in large, smooth blocks. By contrast, a bold, sculptural metal staircase moves through the skylit central atria between concrete floors. The 194-room hotel was designed in conjunction with the renowned Italian designer Piero Lissoni.
