Our travel advisors’ insider tip
In Israel you combine two very different cities: the beach of Tel Aviv and the Old City of Jerusalem.
In Jerusalem the Theatron Jerusalem Hotel starts at 188 €; overlooking the Old City stand the King David Jerusalem and the Mamilla Hotel Jerusalem. In Tel Aviv the Dan Tel Aviv starts at 232 €, and in Jaffa stands The Jaffa Tel Aviv.
Our advice: three nights in Jerusalem, three in Tel Aviv. Our travel advisors will brief you on the current travel situation before you book.
Where to stay: on Tel Aviv’s beach, by Jerusalem’s Old City or in the desert
The best hotels in Israel are in the two major cities, plus one in Galilee and one in the desert.
Tel Aviv
Ten hotels from 232 €, including The Setai Tel Aviv and The Jaffa Tel Aviv in Jaffa, The David Kempinski Tel Aviv on the beach promenade and The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya in Herzliya. Our recommendation for the beach, Bauhaus architecture and markets.
Jerusalem
Eight hotels from 188 €, including the King David Jerusalem, the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem and The American Colony Hotel Jerusalem. Our recommendation for the Old City, the Western Wall and the Israel Museum.
In Galilee stands Mizpe Hayamim in Rosh Pina from 375 €, and in the south the Six Senses Shaharut in the desert from 969 €. How best to travel between the places, our travel advisors will clarify before you book.
