HOTEL FACILITIES & SERVICES: Since its inception in 1973, the Alcazar has been noted for exceptional service and extraordinary hospitality. A winner of Four elite "Promoter of Tourism" awards in 1993, 1994, 1996, and 1999 Alcazar proudly serves what has been billed by its patrons as the best food you can get at any tourist institution in Jerusalem and surrounding areas. In 1993, Alcazar started a major renovation project that took a total of three years. Now, after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, Alcazar has a brand new heating and cooling system, a redesigned bar and state-of-the-art reception desk. The dining room has undergone a face lift, as has the meeting room and all hallways and lounge areas. Enormous work has been done on the bedrooms, as well, from new Simons beds to fresh sheets and bed spreads, to a complete overhaul on utilities. Further improvements are undergoing study at the present time.
