Jaffa Tel Aviv - Master Thread
« on: August 01, 2018, 11:12:42 AM »
Starting a new thread because it gets convoluted in the Israel master thread.

For those interested, looks like this should be live today for bookings after 8/20

That's not what they said. They basically said that you will see what happens after August 18th.

They said it will be the same after the merger.
Also doesn’t look like breakfast will be included with award reservations

Most of the smaller hotels in Tel Aviv are non kosher, notably the Norman.

120 keys is relatively small. My point was that it's not illegal and actually the norm in Tel Aviv besides for the major hotels. I'm still surprised it's treif considering the new direct competition Setai is Kosher but that may be due to the owners preference.
