Unique Hotels In Jerusalem And Its Surroundings

Vacation time is exciting and fun. However, we have all experienced a little bit of stress as we try to figure out where to stay, how to travel, how much to spend, and where to visit. With so many opinions, it hard to make the right decision and know what to do. It seems that everyone has a different opinion on where to go and where to stay while traveling. Your vacation can either be more memorable or completely ruined by where you decide to lodge, so it truly is worth thinking about.

Jerusalem and the surrounding areas offer such a wide variety of hotels that one needs to take the time to consider the different options, do some research and only then make a decision. There are many things to consider and although the cost is important, you have to decide what is most important to you. Oftentimes, we are willing to pay a little more when we realize the extras that we will get.

For example, one Jerusalem hotel may be in a very old building and you prefer a newer facility. Or perhaps you want to be right in the heart of the old city. Some hotels are located there, while others are in the more modern section of Jerusalem. Another factor to consider is the size of the hotel and its rooms. Some people like a quainter atmosphere, with a more family type feeling, while others enjoy a larger hotel with spacious rooms. It’s no surprise that travel is expensive, so cost is an issue because we want to use our money wisely.

Some of the Israel hotels, such as the Addar Hotel Jerusalem, are in older buildings. The architecture will take you back in time and make your Israel experience even richer. The Addar Hotel is within walking distance of the Old City of Jerusalem and the main attractions of Jerusalem. This hotel is smaller, with only thirty guest rooms, creating a homier feeling. This historic 19th century building is family owned and run and is available for a modest cost.

You also might want to think about staying at the Royal Hotel Dead Sea if you want to enjoy an area other than Jerusalem. This motel is a more modern facility with a total of 420 rooms and suites. This fine hotel offers a spectacular view of the Dead Sea from every room and is close to a central bathing beach. It is also only a ninety minute drive from the Ben Gurion Airport. Although this hotel is more expensive, they offer a fitness center, spa, restaurants, sports bar, synagogue, outdoor pool and other luxuries. This magnificent Dead Sea hotel has much to offer all tourists.

If you are interested in a larger hotel in Jerusalem, you might consider the American Colony Hotel. Built over 120 years ago, it is designed with classic Arabian arches. Only a ten minute walk from the Old City of Jerusalem, this hotel is within walking distance from all the major sights. It is also only 45 minutes from the Ben Gurion Airport, right outside Tel Aviv. This is a moderate sized hotel with 85 guest rooms, a heated pool, fitness center and sauna. Because of these luxuries, the price is a little higher, but well worth it to the tourist who is looking for an authentic Israel experience.

If you are looking for a less expensive motel that is not right in Jerusalem, you will want to consider the Almog Kibbutz Dead Sea Hotel. Located near the Dead Sea, this small hotel offers 35 economy rooms that will lodge two people and 15 superior rooms for lodging families or groups of four people. Only 25 minutes from Jerusalem, this quaint hotel offers a Kosher Israeli breakfast to its guests. While not the fanciest of all hotels, this is a nice place to stay if you enjoy a more quiet setting at a cheaper rate.

There is no limit to the variety in hotels in Jerusalem and its surrounding areas. Tourists have the privilege to decide which motel best suits their needs, as each hotel is unique in its own way. Regardless of where you stay, you will find a unique, educational and refreshing vacation while in the country of Israel.
