WALLED OFF HOTEL ^{* * *}

In March 2017, the enigmatic British street artist Banksy opened a stunning, self-decorated hotel overlooking the wall separating Palestinians and Israelis. It offers three types of room: the "Artist", filled with works of art; the "Scenic", with a view of the separation wall built by Israel; and the "Budget", the least expensive, in converted dormitories. The place has received a lot of praise from the international press, but it is not unanimously appreciated by the Palestinians, some of whom see the wall as a tourist attraction.
