Where To Stay In Jerusalem And Surrounding Areas
Deciding to take a vacation is an exciting experience, but along with the excitement, there is some stress in deciding how to travel, where to visit, and where to stay. 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. Where to lodge while on vacation is one of the most important questions you will ask because the place you are staying can turn your experience into a more delightful one, or can actually ruin your trip altogether.
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 hotel in Jerusalem may be in a very old building and you prefer a newer facility. Then again, you would prefer to be in the middle of the authenticity of the Old City of Jerusalem. Some hotels are located there, while others are in the more modern section of Jerusalem. You should also consider the size of the hotel itself and how many rooms there are. 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. Within walking distance of the main attraction of Jerusalem and the Old City is the Addar Hotel. This hotel is smaller, with only thirty guest rooms, creating a homier feeling. Available at a modest cost, this 19th century historic building is family owned and operated.
You also might want to think about staying at the Royal Hotel Dead Sea if you want to enjoy an area other than Jerusalem. Here, you will find a very modern facility with 420 rooms and suites. With a ninety minute drive from the Ben Gurion Airport, this fine hotel is close to a central bathing beach every room offers a spectacular view of the Dead Sea. This fine hotel offers a fitness center, spa, restaurants, sports bar, synagogue, outdoor pool and other luxuries. This magnificent Dead Sea hotel has much to offer all tourists.
You might want to consider the American Colony Hotel if you are interested in a larger hotel in Jerusalem. It is designed with classic Arabian arches, built over 120 years ago. 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. The price may be a little more, but these luxuries make it well worth it to the traveler looking for a unique 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. This unique hotel offers a kosher Israeli breakfast to its guests and is only 25 minutes from the city of Jerusalem. 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 a huge variety of hotels in the city of Jerusalem and the areas surrounding it. 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.
