CASA NOVA PALACE

Adjacent to the Basilica of the Nativity, on Manger Square, this Christian hospice run by the Franciscans was intended for pilgrims to the birthplace of Christ. Today, it is open to all, and comprises two distinct complexes: the 63-room Casa Nova and the Casa Nova Oriental Palace, a smaller structure with around 20 rooms. This hospice is one of the best accommodation options in Bethlehem, thanks to its privileged location. The rooms are simple but comfortable, and the restaurant offers top-quality cuisine.
