The Walled Off Hotel
Banksy is famous for his social commentary. The Walled Off Hotel was among his most bold statements, a functional hotel that sits just feet away from the wall that separates it — and the rest of Bethlehem — from the West Bank of Palestine. On October 7, 2023, due to ongoing conflict, it was forced to close. It's now reopened and ready to host those with a healthy love of art and history. It offers a range of rooms, ranging from the barracks-like "Budget" to an ornate "Presidential" suite, as well as the Piano Bar, the Sahara bar, a gallery dedicated to Palestinian artists, a Museum covering the history of the wall, and a bookshop stocking every book about the wall ever published.
