Banksy's Art Featured in Bethlehem Hotel with 'world's Worst View'

A Palestinian guest house packed with the artwork of elusive British graffiti artist Banksy was unveiled Friday in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, with a sneak peek of what the owner sarcastically called the "hotel with the worst view in the world."

Wisam Salsaa, 42, said the nine-room establishment named "The Walled Off Hotel" will officially open on March 11th, but he offered a handful of reporters a tour of the hotel looking directly at the West Bank separation barrier erected by Israel to protect against Palestinian attackers.

The barrier is heavily decorated by artists, and Banksy has previously painted several murals on a walled segment of it.

The hotel is awash in the trademark satirical work of the mysterious artist.

The hotel also features a presidential suite and a museum with the artist's politically-charged work. The cheapest rooms were available from $30 a night.

Banksy has made previous forays into the Palestinian territories.

In one secret visit, he drew a painting of a girl pulled upward by balloons on the barrier facing his current project.

The painting, titled "Bomb Damage," was drawn on the last remaining part of a two-story house that was destroyed in the 2014 war between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers.
