Summary

A significant shift in Palestinian dwelling architecture occurred between the 19th and 20th centuries, marked by the integration of Western-style modernity with traditional Palestinian elements. The Palestine Hotel in Hebron's Old City exemplifies this transformation, showcasing a hybrid design that reflects the coexistence and mutual influence of these architectural styles. This study identifies pivotal turning points driven by European missions and Zionist migration, which introduced concrete housing and altered traditional building structures. Employing analytical and documentary methodologies, the research underscores the importance of preserving such cultural assets to safeguard civilizational and cultural heritage for future generations.
