About Alegra Boutique Hotel
A Jerusalem boutique hotel that sees things differently. The hotel breathes life into a romance which overwhelmed Jerusalem and is an integral part of the picturesque Ein Kerem neighborhood's aesthetics.
In the heart of Ein Kerem neighborhood lies the Alegra Boutique Hotel, an exclusive focus of fine design and tranquility.

The story
The love story of Alegra and Jabra Francis, the royal and controversial couple of Ein-Kerem, is the inspiration for the hotel's design. The bold romance took place in the 1920s. A Jewish girl named Alegra fell in love with an Arab-Christian man, Jabra Francis, and decided to run away and marry him in secret.
The house where the couple lived with their family, which the locals refer to as the "House of the Jewish Girl" was converted into the Alegra Boutique Hotel, and continues, about a century after the original love-affair, to be a focal point of romance and thinking outside of the box.
