Marriott Herzliya

Well it doesn't rain but it pours. There we were, excited about the Herods, when we stumbled upon a rendering of a Marriott hotel in Herzliya? After a brief moment in which we nearly had a heart attack thinking that the hotel was already open (note to self, do not google Marriott Herzliya), we realized that the property is still under construction. Here's what to expect: a four star, 160 room hotel (which is pretty small for Herzliya) and will be in the business district of Herzliya Pituach. So if there's any doubt of who the hotel is planning to attract: it's the business people. The company behind the hotel, ISSTA, promises that rates will be 30% lower than nearby hotels! We'll take it. We have to give ISSTA some credit here. Business people like reliability, and there aren't many more reliable brands than Marriott. Plus, it'll be a sister hotel to the Ritz Carlton down the road and to the Renaissance in Tel Aviv.
