HOSPITALITY, ART and CONTROVERSY:
Banksy and his Walled Off Hotel, a dystopian tourist attraction
A hotel which prides itself on "the worst view in the world"
The Presidential Suite ...
... and its view
The piano lounge is decorated with mounted CCTV cameras
Like a lamb to the slaughter: a Banksy installation hangs above the dining tables in the lobby, where residents can chew over the events of the day
And the doorman in the top hat at the front stands just feet from one of the Middle East's most reviled structures
A re-enactment of the signing of the Balfour Declaration (1917) is seen inside the Walled Off Hotel
