A hotelt a titokzatos brit graffiti-művész, Banksy nyitotta. A Walled Off Hotel teljes belső dekorációját ő készítette el.

A street art művész és aktivista Banksy legújabb húzása egy hotel nyitása, amiben nem lenne semmi különös, ha nem a ciszjordániai Betlehemben nyitja azt meg. De ott tette. A beszédes nevű Walled Off Hotel a világ legrosszabb kilátású szobáit ígéri, és ez így is van: az ablakok Izraelt és a palesztin területeket elválasztó gigantikus falra néznek. A hotel neve is erre utal.

Banksy, akinek minden egyes falfestménye és akciója erős üzenetekkel operáló társadalmi, politikai állásfoglalás is egyben, mindenhol felbukkan, ahol valamilyen fontos ügyet érez. Gázában már korábban „garázdálkodott”. 2015 elején cikkeztek arról a lapok, hogy az elzárt területen egyetlen éjszaka alatt több helyen is felbukkantak a titokzatos művész falfestményei és üzenetei. Például ez a kettő is:

Banksy most viszont Ciszjordániában járt, ám ezúttal nem titokban, az éj leple alatt, hanem nappal. Ugyanakkor mégsem nyíltan, mert őrizve az inkognitóját, az ünnepélyes megnyitón a képviselői vettek részt helyette. A Walled Off Hotel egyszerre üzleti vállalkozás, műalkotás és politikai állásfoglalás, ami ugyan kifelé tényleg lehangoló képet mutat, belül viszont pazar. Mutatjuk is.

A hotelt pénteken mutatták be a sajtó képviselőinek, a nagyközönség előtt pedig március 20-án nyitja meg kapuit. Hogy mennyire lesz népszerű, az rövidesen kiderül. A megnyitóról maga a művész posztolt egy videót, ami alapján azt mondhatjuk, hogy Izrael ide, Ciszjordánia oda, jó hangulatú esemény volt, mintha nem is egy puskaporos hordó közepén lennének a szerencsés sajtómunkások.
