Israel Hotels Master Thread

[shiframeir]

thanks
which nice hotels are ok for breakfast? Inbal, WA, Citadel, etc?

i went to inbal recently, was at Waldorf like 8 years ago and at plaza a couple years ago. inbal beat everything by far in terms of options and deliciousness, almost too good that i felt a lil guilty. their tandoori oven lets them make these crazy pizzas focaccias and breads that were top level.

R @Spoon was helpful I spoke to the Mashgiach at Inbal and gave the same story of all mehadrin products I think he mentioned a chasam Sofer that maybe more stringent people would be wary of. So still rabbanut reg but with a Mashgiach saying they have a higher standard (like Waldorf) vs the Leonardo plaza where it is officially rabbanut mehadrin and the Mashgiach probably has a more renowned reputation.

If I am staying in an Israeli hotel on a tourist visa and paying for other rooms for people with student visas, will there be VAT added on their rooms?

I'm assuming you have to give all passports at check-in?

There are in Minyanim In The Airport By Arrivals

There are TWO shuls in Teminal 3.
One is landside near the rental car counters (one flight up on the left side after you exit customs) and the other is airside within the rotunda (IIRC just to the left after you enter...)

There are set Minyanim in the landside shul + when ever theres a minyan of people who want to daven
Airside is by demand only IINM.

JG last I heard had some sort of approval from Rabbi Weiner.
I suggest that you contact him.

Any upscale hotels in Jersualem offer shabbos meals to non guest for both meals? and if yes which is recommended?

Only noticed this now. (Thread on ignore) The answer is no. There are some short-term rentals, though.

Near for me... most people would argue with that though

Not upscale, but Rabbi Farkash emailed me that the Ramada and Lev Yerushalayim are fine hechsher wise.

Not seeing a lot of dead sea here in convos or on wiki.
Any recommendations? looking for a legit nice place, kosher (rabanut/rabanut+) bookable on chase portal would be ideal

Have to get out of my own box sometimes.  When I last researched this, it was for my parents, who have difficulty walking more than ten minutes' distance.
