Brown TLV

Featured in the New York Times Magazine as "the place to stay in Tel Aviv", the new Brown TLV hotel looks lovely, with some of the nicest rooms we've ever seen in Israel. Unfortunately, TripAdvisor reviewers call the rooms small, the location iffy, and the design impractical- open bathrooms, racy art, etc. But, the service is great and most of the reviewers said that they would return. While we're not sure why the NYT thinks this is the best place to stay, it seems like an overall nice boutique, for the young and hip crowd that don't mind the design faults. For anyone else, though, we would recommend going elsewhere.

The Most Misleading Hotel Award

Blue Bay Hotel and Spa, as described on the website (with pictures of gorgeous rooms, a stunning pool, and a beautiful exterior):
"The new Blue Bay Hotel and Spa lies on a cliff at a beautiful location, by the sky blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel's location, 20 miles north of Tel-Aviv, is far from the city's commotion yet close to shopping and entertainment centers. The pastoral atmosphere provides a perfect setting for the hotel rooms located on the cliff, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea."
Rates are affordable, and the website gives you the urge to book. But, as one TripAdvisor reviewer writes, "I call this place the Hotel from Hell. I'd seen pictures of this hotel before I came and I thought it looked good so I thought everything would be fine." Another writes, "The online picture of this hotel is beautiful as is the outside of the hotel, but only from a distance." It seems that lots of people fall for the website. But, as the reviewers write, in fact the "new" hotel is old, with worn carpeting and furniture, a virtually non- existent Spa, nasty staff, bad food, bugs and ants in the room, and broken gym equipment. Even so, the Blue Bay still seems better than some of the other hotels in Netanya.

Netanya Hotels

Yes, we know- a dirty, gross city overrun with French people. Who would go there?
But even so, this city has over a dozen beachfront hotels. But which hotels are best? The results:
Netanya has virtually no good hotels. Most of the TripAdvisor reviews and photos are so horrible. Luckily, we can still recommend three hotels.

1. The Seasons
Yes, you predicted it. Reviewers appreciate cleanliness, large rooms, sea views, and kind staff, although there are complaints about the dated decor, and the exterior looks like it could use an update.
2. King Solomon
This hotel is a "regular" Israeli hotel, with pretty good food, a basic although old pool, and renovated interiors that are described as clean and pleasant. The rooms here are very nice (compared to other Netanya hotels).
3. Residence Beach
This hotel has great reviews, praising the staff and large accommodations, and amazing views. But the hotel's interior looks really dated, and the exterior makes the Seasons' look good.

Kempinski Tel Aviv Hotel

While taking a tour of Tel Aviv yesterday, we noticed a skeleton right on the beach that piqued our curiosity. We are proud to unveil:
Henry Taic plans to build the first Kempinski Hotel in Israel as part of the David Promenade Residences under construction on Tel Aviv's seafront.

Taic's company, Nahal Group, signed an agreement with Kempinski Hotels AG last week to establish a luxury hotel on half the eight-dunam (two-acre) lot owned by Nahal on Herbert Samuel Street in Tel Aviv near the US Embassy. The Kempinski Tel Aviv Hotel will have 220 rooms, including 50 suites, on 23 floors. It is due to open in 2013.

The Kempinski Tel Aviv Hotel will be attached by glass cube to the 25-storey David Promenade Residences, which will have 60-70 luxury apartments ranging in size from 100 square meters to 1,000-square meter duplexes. Residents will have use of the hotel's facilities.

Nahal owns the David Intercontinental Hotel in Tel Aviv, the Le Meridien Dead Sea Hotel, and Grand Court Hotel Jerusalem

Kempinski Hotels was founded in 1897. The luxury European chain how has 60 hotels worldwide, with 43 more planned for Europe and Asia.

If this hotel is up to Kempinski standards, it will far surpass Tel Aviv's rather drab selection of luxury hotels.

Herzliya Hotels

Currently, the top hotels in Herzliya are the Dan Accadia and the Daniel. Are these two hotels poised to compete with the Ritz Carlton? The Dan Accadia's guest rooms in the main building have just been renovated, and the lobby and public spaces have been spruced up. It enjoys a good location right on the beach and exclusive chalet rooms with patios or balconies. But the exterior is aging, and the pool area is not so nice. For a one night stay on October 12-13th, the rate for a standard room is $450 USD, and a garden Chalet room is $650. The Daniel's exterior is also lacking, with a very rundown look. Inside, though, the rooms are large and pretty, the beach side pool is stunning, and the Shizen spa and its separate guest rooms are a definite plus. The rate for the same dates is $309.95 USD for a superior room. The Ritz Carlton's location is atop the Marina Mall, right on the marina. This means that the beach will be a short drive away, not on site. The lack of grounds and a more urban feel will certainly distinguish it from the other hotels. The public spaces and guest rooms, as well as the service are expected to be luxurious, as assumed from a Ritz Carlton. The rates at the Ritz will most likely be in the $500- $700 range for these dates. So, the question remains- will loyal patrons of other hotels switch to the new kid on the block? Or will they continue to return to the classic beach side resorts?

Dan's Fourth Jerusalem Hotel

The Dan Jerusalem, formerly the Regency, now joins the King David, Dan Boutique, and Dan Panorama hotels. The hotel, back in its Regency days, enjoyed reviews such as "Our stay at the Regency Jerusalem proved to be a nightmare!" or "Run, Run Fast! Oh and don't forget your Lysol.." Previous guests complain about almost everything, from the dirty rooms and broken TV's to the cafeteria- style food and bad internet. Hopefully, Dan will spruce up this hotel like the Dan Boutique, which in its Ariel days did not get great reviews either. The hotel is the largest in the Dan chain, and it remains to be seen whether the management can handle a hotel almost double the size of its former largest, the Dan Eilat. Hmm... hate to sound so pessimistic, but this hotel is going to need a lot of work. Good Luck, Dan Jerusalem.

A Hotel and Gallery in Neve- Zedek, Tel Aviv

Gutman Assif Architects, a prominent architectural firm, have plans on their website for a new boutique hotel and gallery in Neve Zedek. There's just one catch. These plans are over ten years old. It seems that this fabulous concept hotel will forever remain a concept. There are plenty of pictures on http://ygaa.net/index.php?&id=690 Neve Tzedek was established in 1884, the first Jewish neighborhood established outside Old Jaffa which later became part of the city Tel Aviv. The architects of the hotel are also responsible for a new boutique hotel in Tribeca, New York City.

Bat Yam- Revived (hotel- wise)

Bat Yam currently has about three hotels, The Mercure Suites, the Bat Yam Howard Johnson Sun Hotel (another "fake" HoJo?), and the Armon Yam Hotel. None of these hotels are great, they basically represent the city of Bat Yam- a trashy, low level suburb of Tel Aviv. Soon, though, Bat Yam will be transformed. Three new hotels are being built along the beach, and another five are planned for the city itself. The three beach hotels will be four or five-stars, and will include about 300 rooms and large areas for commerce and conventions. The estimated cost of construction is NIS 240 million (about $62 million), excluding the price of the land. The goal of the project is to extend Tel Aviv into Bat Yam with regard to accomodations, by offering travelers hotels comparable to those in Tel Aviv at lower prices.

Progress on the Palace

The long- awaited Palace Hotel Jerusalem has risen up. This Waldorf Astoria hotel, which for months was seemingly stationary, is now progressing. Already, concrete walls of the ground floor and the first floor are built in the historic building, as is the entrance to the parking garage and the underground levels. As for the hotel building, it now rises one floor high (the bottom floor in the picture). Will the hotel make its original December 2010 deadline? Almost decidedly no. Will it make its new vague "2011" deadline? Probably not. But we can hope- after all, a year and a half is a good amount of time. As far as the construction, we noticed that the street in between the historic building and the new building is being put together again, after being dug up to seemingly link the two buildings underground. The underground will probably hold the choice of three restaurants, a 5,381 square‐foot spa and fitness facility with pool, and the extensive conference and meeting facilities and on‐site parking. We'll look forward to staying here in 2011! UPDATE: Level two in both buildings is now up, and the street in between has been filled in.

Beware of Be'er Sheva

The good news is that no one really ever needs to go to Beer Sheva. The bad news is that in the rare event that someone did, like a tourist, they would have no where to stay. Beer Sheba, Israel's fourth largest city, boasts exactly two hotels, The Leonardo/Golden Tulip/Paradise HaNegev/Hilton, and the Desert Inn. The Leonardo is described as "ok", "nothing great","worn out". The Desert Inn has some horrible reviews, from "the hotel was pretty terrible. The room's television didn't work, and the bathroom was disgusting. The room itself was pretty dirty and more like a hostel." to "purse was stolen from the locked room." Upon doing some searches, I found out that the Desert Inn is in fact closed, so there is only one hotel left. The Desert Inn is going to be replaced with Israel's largest mall. When asked "Why Beer Sheba"?,Yaakov Ben Yizri, president of the commerce bureau in the Negev, answers that "Beersheba and the Negev are about to undergo a revolution in the coming years," "This is a good enough reason to understand why Beersheba of all places." And the real news? In the area near the mall the municipality is interested in setting up a hotel.

What's up with "Chain Hotels" in Tel Aviv?

Yes, so while doing some research for yesterday's posting, I came across two interesting hotels- The Best Western Regency Suites Tel Aviv, and the Howard Johnson Express Tel Aviv. The intriguing names, so familiar to Americans, sound so foreign in Israel. It seemed almost impossible that these chains had hotels in Israel.
Upon searching for the Best Western Tel Aviv on the global website, it came up! This hotel is actually a member of the international chain. What's more, it even looks like a Best Western from the inside. On the Hotel's website, the Best Western logo is prominently displayed. For these reasons, we had high hopes for the Howard Johnson as well. No such luck. On the HoJo website, the hotel is not listed, and on the Hotel's website, the Howard Johnson name is not even used (replaced with Shalom Hotel Tel Aviv), even though the HoJo name is prominently displayed in a photo of the Hotel's facade. Very Interesting. Does anybody know what the deal is with this hotel?

Tel Aviv Hotels, in depth

So, what is the best hotel in Tel Aviv?
Is it a classic large hotel, like the David InterContinental, the Sheraton, the Hilton, the Dan Tel Aviv, the Rennaisance, a Crowne Plaza, the Isrotel, the Leonardo Plaza, or the Carlton?
Is it a luxury boutique, like Art Plus, Cinema, Sadot, Savoy, Melody, Vital, or Hotel Montefiore?
It's too hard to say. But, with out any further ado, we present to you:
The Official IsraelGuest Guide to Tel Aviv Hotels
Top Chain Hotel
1. Dan Tel Aviv
This luxury hotel has always been one of the top hotels in Tel Aviv, with its exclusive clientele, high end lobby, great service, beautiful rooftop pool, and now recently renovated rooms, we can pronounce it the top chain hotel in Tel Aviv.
2. The Crowne Plaza City Center
Yes, it's a shame that a Crowne Plaza, which is not really a luxury chain, comes in second place. It really says something about the sorry state of Israel hotels in general. This newer hotel has fabulous views, colorful rooms with flat screen TV's and nice amenities.
3. The David Intercontinental
While this hotel is really not that much better overall than its other chain counteparts, we felt we had to include it because it is regarded by many to be the top hotel in Tel Aviv. It has a gorgeous atrium lobby and lovely pool, as well as marble bathrooms in the rooms, but the rooms themselves tend to vary- some are old and shabby, while others are stunning and even nicer than those at the Dan.

Top Boutique
1. Hotel Montefiore
Yes, this small hotel is not very well known, but each of the twelve rooms offers a marble bathroom, book library, and a balcony. Together with amazing, personalized service, and a good location, this is everything a boutique should be.
2. Art+ Hotel
This hotel has been getting a lot of hype since it opened, centered around artists and artwork, it offers nice rooms (if not very original or luxurious) and beautiful public spaces.
2. (tied) Melody Hotel
The Melody hotel offers really nice but small rooms, with "rubber duckies" in the bathrooms (a copy of Kimpton Hotels, but who cares?) kind staff, family friendly amenities like DVDs at the front desk, and sea views.
3. Savoy Hotel
This new hotel offers chic rooms and a great location, but the lack of public spaces is a real fault- there is no sitting area in the lobby except for the breakfast room.

More on Mamilla

Just out of curiosity, I decided to check the rates at the Mamilla Hotel and compare with those at the David Citadel and King David. The results: for 2 adults in a standard room for tonight, Mamilla offered $370 per night, DC $416 per night, and the KD was $419 per night. Oh, and the Inbal was $330. For the price, I suppose one could stay at Mamilla and save themselves $45, plus get a nicer hotel than the DC. They'd just have to overlook the one doorman, and the design issues.

What's wrong with Mamilla Hotel?

Why, why can't Jerusalem get a perfect hotel, one that is both luxurious and well liked, with good service and nice rooms? For those that thought that Mamilla was the answer, think again. The hotel is beautiful, but the rooms are just horrible- so many TripAdvisor reviewers complain about the design, the lack of work desks, the high closets that require poles to hang up things? And then the service? Rude, nasty, unhelpful, stupid? When driving by the hotel recently, I was horrified to note that there was one doorman at the entrance, compared to five at the David Citadel and four at the King David. This hotel is supposed to at least surpass the David Citadel! Well, excuses can be made since the hotel is still considered "new", but really, get your act together, Mamilla!

Isrotel Bereshit Hotel

Isrotel's fanciest hotel is now close to completion.
"The Isrotel Hotel chain is building a unique leisure resort in Mitzpe Ramon, a hotel that will be fully integrated into the surrounding natural terrain.
The 112 room hotel will offer guests service of the highest standards, alongside the attractions associated with the crater and the Negev desert.
The new hotel will itself be an attraction, constituting an additional magnet that will attract visitors to the crater." Pretty nice sounding, huh. More specifically, the hotel will feature small two-storey units or 'chalets', with each ground floor suite boasting its own private swimming pool. As far as amenities, the hotel will have a spa, conference facilities, tennis courts, a main swimming pool right on the edge of the cliff, and a Presidential Suite suspended over the cliff. This hotel reminds me of the Four Seasons Troon North in Scottsdale, with chalets, pools, views, etc. We can only hope that the Isrotel will be as nice. If not, though, it guaranteed will be nicer than the Isrotel Ramon Inn, which is really dying for a renovation.

W Tel Aviv????

Yes, as a first reaction, W Tel Aviv would be perfect. There already is another Starwood property, the city is exciting and hip, and perfect for a W Hotel. When I read this posting on HotelChatter (http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/4/26/94826/5757/hotels/Where_Will_W_Welcome_Us_Next_), I was very excited. After some quick searches, however, I became disheartened. Yes, there is a W Tel Aviv. It is a luxury residential building. Is this a mistake on HotelChatter's part? Or, should we keep hoping that there will be a W Hotel Tel Aviv, which will simply have some trademark issues? The latter, of course.

Tiberias- Comeback

Tiberias, the Crown Jewel of the North, the Star of the Kinneret. Not. With a capital N. This city is old, dirty, trashy, depressing, and most importantly, had, up to recently, not even one good hotel. For years the top hotel was the Sheraton. But now, it has been reduced to just another hotel in the Leonardo empire, which is especially prominent in Tiberias, where there are three Leonardo's. (Interestingly enough, the Leonardo Club Hotel has the Leonardo sign on one side of the building, and the old Golden Tulip sign on the other side.) The top hotel is unarguably the Scots Hotel, a beautiful boutique hotel with a true luxury feel. It definitely doesn't fit in with the Tiberian ambiance. But there are other good choices. The Leonardo Hotel, which thankfully is a little removed from town, completed a full renovation a few years ago, and offers clean and nice rooms, as well as a bright and pretty lobby and outdoor pool. It definitely is nicer than the other basic hotels. Another hotel to undergo a renovation was the Prima Galil Hotel, which now has fresh and beautiful interiors. If only the other hotels would follow, and the city would spend some money on beautification, Tiberias would emerge as a new city. Until then, these are the best.

Savyonei Hagalil

So who has heard of the Savyonei HaGalil? Anyone? We recently had the pleasure of staying in this hotel. Being familiar with Etap Hotels in Europe, we knew what to expect of this former Etap. The hotel was located right off the highway, with a gas station and a few shops adjacent to it. The lobby was small but nice, with leather couches and a flat screen TV. A walk down the brightly lit, hospital like corridors brought us to our room. We walked into a tiled area with shelves and hangers on one side and a sink on the other. There were two doors, on for the toilet and one for the shower. Beyond this multipurpose chamber was the room, with a double bed, two night tables, and a little fridge. It was clean and decent, and very different from the Etaps in Europe, which consisted of bunk beds and a tiny bathroom. We left early in the morning, but our stay was fine. We would stay again.

Eilat

A friend recently asked my opinion as to where he should stay in Eilat. Here's the results. The standard list of "five star" hotels includes Herods, Dan Eilat, Hilton Queen of Sheba, and the Isrotel Royal Beach. Herods, in my opinion, is the worst hotel of this group. The rooms are old and tired, the decor is tacky. Only the pool is nice. The Dan Eilat also has similar issues- tacky decor, but well kept. The rooms, too, are old, but the bathrooms are luxurious. The pool is beautiful. The Queen of Sheba has a theme, but it's not overwhelming and if you didn't look around for the hidden details, you would think it's just a nice Hilton. The pool here is standard and unexciting, but it has fountains and pretty flowers. The rooms here are probably the nicest in Eilat, but they too could use an update. The Royal Beach has a striking lobby, with gorgeous flower arrangements and a good pool. The rooms here are nice as well. But, the hotel is beginning to look tired around the edges and could use a little care.
So, which is the best? We advised the Hilton Queen of Sheba. It just feels more luxurious than the other hotels.

Where did the mighty chains go?

Once upon a time, there were a good amount of American chain hotels in Israel. Where did they go? The Hilton Jerusalem, fired for bad management, now the David Citadel. The Hyatt Regency Jerusalem, now simply the Regency. The landmark Sheraton Plaza Jerusalem, now the Leonardo Plaza. Or the Sheraton Moriah Eilat, now the Leonardo Eilat. Ditto Sheraton City Center Tel Aviv, now the Leonardo. The Sheraton Dead Sea, now reduced to the Leonardo Plaza. When asked, a Sheraton representative simply stated that these hotels were "too hard to keep up". Luckily, there is still a remnant of American chains- the Hiltons in Tel Aviv and Eilat, three Starwood properties, and the still growing IC Hotels group, with nine properties and a new Crowne Plaza in Ashdod coming. Also highly anticipated is the Ritz Carlton Herzliya. But still. Come back, American chains! We miss you.

Why can't Jerusalem have good hotels?

Sure, Jerusalem has some decent hotels, namely the legendary King David and the new Mamilla Hotel. Some people might add the David Citadel and then the Inbal to this list, but we would reject them because they're not exactly in the same class (Well, the David Citadel has potential- but the rooms aren't luxurious; and the Inbal has a cheap feel). Granted, Jerusalem is not exactly New York City, with its thirty some odd five- star hotels, but couldn't it have more than two? What ever happened to the Four Seasons Jerusalem? Or the Tamares-owned Jerusalem Pearl, which has great potential, like its sister properties the Daniel Dead Sea, Daniel Herziliya, and Shizen Herziliya. Why is Tel Aviv deserving of all the hip, luxury, chic European hotels? But there is hope on the horizon. Mamilla Hotel is a step in the right direction, as is the fabulous Harmony Hotel, and the Dan Boutique. So is the Palace, A Waldorf=Astoria hotel(if it ever happens). Next year in Jerusalem, with good hotels! Please note: Unless otherwise indicated, IsraelGuest is simply posting its own opinion, based on TripAdvisor reviews and other indicated sources.

Dan Caesaria- Luxury Prices, No Luxury

While we're on the topic of overpriced (see previous post), we'd like to discuss what in our humble opinion is the most overpriced hotel in Israel, the esteemed Dan Caesaria. This property boasts rates between $400 and $600 dollars per night, comparable to the Dan flagship property, the King David, Jerusalem. But the Dan Caesaria is no King David. As a reviewer on Tripadvisor notes,"This Dan hotel has seen better days... Hotel tatty and dreary. Worn, grey towels and bedding, grubby carpets, blockage in basin, and bath tap didn't work although it was repaired quickly upon request. No clock, newspapers or slippers available. Staff disinterested and bored. One computer in hall which you can pay to use." So why the markup? The pool seems lovely, the gardens well maintained, the hotel has an excellent location, good food, and an adjacent golf course, but really? Doesn't $200 per night seem more fitting? Apparently, Dan is getting away with it though. Please note: Unless otherwise indicated, IsraelGuest is simply posting its own opinion, based on TripAdvisor reviews and other indicated sources. IsraelGuest representatives have not been guests of the hotels.
Been to the Dan Caesaria? Please post your comments below.

Dead Sea- Overpriced?

In short answer, yes. Hotel rates at the Dead Sea are considerably higher than comparable hotels in Eilat. For example, the Isrotel Dead Sea is about $404 per night, while the Isrotel Agamim Eilat or the Isrotel Royal Garden average $249 and $324 per night, respectively. Similarly, the Le Meridien Dead Sea is nearly $100 more than the Le Meridien Eilat. Why is this? Granted, the Dead Sea is closer to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and central areas, and of course the sea is salty, but are those reasons for the $100 markup? Especially since the adventuring, shopping, and hiking, (as well as good weather) that is consistently found in Eilat is missing in the Dead Sea. But, tourists still flock to the Dead Sea and gladly pay up. Of course, the Dead Sea markup is not half as drastic as the Herzilya markup, but at least Herziliya is upscale and beautiful, with great beaches and a central location. Still, Eilat seems to be the best bet.

So why do people go to the Dead Sea for a stay? Please post your comments below.

Adi Hotel Eilat- Not so Bad?

Yes, so technically the Adi Hotel in Eilat is not new or exciting. Tripadvisor reviewers complain of noise, screaming children, bare accommodations, lack of top sheets, and more. But a recent guest and friend of IsraelGuest gave the hotel a thumbs up, praising its relatively good location, decor, food, and overall experience. Of course, we won't rate this hotel together with top Eilat properties, but it seems to be okay for budget travelers.
Been to the Adi? Please share your experiences with IsraelGuest.
