What is the difference between Beit Shmuel and Mercaz Shimshon?
Beit Shmuel is the original building, opened in 1986, with 41 hostel rooms, classrooms, dining rooms, administration offices and a Patio that serves as an outdoor reception hall for various events and activities. Mercaz Shimshon was completed in 2001, as an extension to Beit Shmuel, with 11 luxury guesthouse rooms, conference rooms, the Hirsch Theater, and the beautiful Blaustein Hall – a banquet hall with a spectacular view of the Old City. These two buildings are interconnected and form one complex under one management, today referred to as “Mercaz Shimshon-Beit Shmuel”.
