Posted by: rodewayinni5.com In: Travel and Leisure
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. There are so many options available today, with so many people giving us ideas and suggestions. 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. Although price is obviously important, there are other things to consider as well, things that can make all the difference for 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. 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. And, of course, price is an issue, rather we like it or not, because traveling is not cheap and we want to use our hard earned money wisely.
Some of the hotels in Israel, such as the Addar Hotel Jerusalem, are in older buildings. Your Israel experience will be even richer, as this unique architecture will take you back in time. Within walking distance of the main attraction of Jerusalem and the Old City is the Addar Hotel. Creating a homier feeling, this small hotel only has thirty guest rooms. This historic 19th century building is family owned and run and is available for a modest cost.
If you want to enjoy Israel’s other beautiful areas, you might consider the Royal Hotel Dead Sea. 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. Tourists are offered much at this magnificent Dead Sea hotel.
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. This hotel is within walking distance to all the major sights and only a ten minute walk from the Old City of Jerusalem. 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. Each one is unique in its own way; giving tourists the opportunity to decide which hotel best suits their needs. Regardless of where you stay, you will find a unique, educational and refreshing vacation while in the country of Israel.
