Add to that The King Solomon was built as The Sheraton King Solomon, at that time The Plaza was known as The CP Plaza (CP stood for Canadian Pacfic which was the Intl Canadian Airline not Air Canada)

The Crowne Plaza today was the original Hilton, The Davids Citadel was suppose to be the new Hilton. Inbal was Laromme.Sonesta = Park Plaza + The Park = Prima Park. Novatel is now a Leonardo.Knesset Tower (next to The Ramada has gone thru many name changes at 1 time was a Four Points). Mercure is now Jerusalem Gate. Howard Johnsons never opened but was built. Lev Yerushalyim was a Days Inn.A Best Western was 1 block away from Menorah Sq (near KG & Ben Yehuda) towards the Plaza.

Pt is many hotels had at 1 time or other were a part of a Chain, today only The Crowne Plaza and soon to be Waldorf are left. (Besides The Ramada but you dont earn Wyndham pts or miles, can only cash out) From the mgrs I spoke with over the yrs , they didnt get enough reses off the Chains site and were inudated with reward nights and people complaining to HQ about the hotel that it didnt make sense to pay the fees involved and remain with the chain.TA is different since the bulk of those staying pay and are on biz, and the hotels do get a fair share of reses thru the chains site
