Within this unmistakable building, which rather resembles a big concrete thumbs-up, are 128 modern rooms with brooding colour schemes. The mustard and oxblood decor is a little dark, but rooms are well equipped and feature coffee makers and plump beds, plus there are excellent city views from the bar and the small gym.
It's the location that truly sings: Dan Boutique is across the street from First Station and within walking distance of Jaffa Gate and the Old City, allowing easy access to both nightlife and the main sights.
Advance online booking can trim the price, though a few nights' stay might be required.
