Directions From Ben Gurion Airport in Tel AvivTo Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives HotelFrom Ben Gurion airport, take Highway One east to Jerusalem. It is approx. a 50 minute drive. Upon arrival, follow the signs to the Old City. Go clockwise around the historic golden walls of Jerusalem from Damascus Gate to Lion's Gate. The incline of the Mount of Olives is just opposite Lion's Gate. Continue along the road a bit further until you reach the The Garden of Gethsemene. Look for the Church of All Nations, turn left and continue eastward & up. After a fairly steep climb, the twisting & narrow road will suddenly end in a 'T'. Turn right and drive about 15 meters. The hotel is located exactly next door to the Chapel of the Ascension.
