The Walled Off Hotel (Bethlehem)

Palestine / Bayt Lahhm / Aydah / Bethlehem / Caritas Street, 182
 hotel, museum, interesting place, art museum / art gallery
The elusive, UK-based street artist Banksy opened this quirky but completely real "art hotel" in early 2017. (Sample: the hotel boasts the "worst view in the world" -- of the nearby Israeli Separation Wall and watchtower.) The lodging is a hotel, museum, protest and gallery all in one, packed with the artworks and angry brilliance of its owner, created in hopes of bringing both Israeli and foreign tourists – and dialogue – to the West Bank city.
