The Millennium Palestine Ramallah Hotel (Arabic: فندق موفنبيك) is a five-star hotel located in Ramallah.[2] It cost $42.5 million (£26.4m) to build.[2]

The hotel was first conceived in the 1990s but was delayed due to the political unrest that followed.[3] Construction began in 2000 and was completed 10 years later.[2] Progress was hindered by difficulties and delays relating to the importing of goods into the territory from Israel.[3]

The hotel opened on November 1, 2010, managed by Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts as the Mövenpick Hotel Ramallah. It was renamed the Millennium Palestine Ramallah Hotel in August 2017, after Millennium Hotels and Resorts assumed management.[4]

The hotel contains five restaurants and bars, 171 rooms including two presidential suites, a range of luxury banqueting and conference facilities, a heated outdoor pool, a gym.[2]

The hotel is aimed principally at a business clientele, and it also hopes to attract the growing number of tourists and pilgrims visiting the West Bank.[2]
