The Mount of Olives Hotel, situated next to the Church of the Ascension on the summit of the Mount of Olives, is an ancient hostelry in Jerusalem (address: 53 Mount of Olives Road, Jerusalem 91190). The Church of the Ascension and its adjoining hostelry for pilgrims was originally constructed by a Roman noblewoman named Poimenia around AD 390. This first structure was destroyed by the Persians in 614, but replaced by St Modestus shortly thereafter. Around 1150 the establishment was rebuilt under the orders of Bernard de Tremelay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and remained a Templar possession until taken over by the Muslims under Saladin in 1187. It has been in Muslim hands ever since, though has always catered mainly for Christian visitors.
