The Renoma Hotel was fantastic in every way. I booked 3 nights at the beginning of our trip while waiting for my husband to arrive so we could start on our journey through Israel. Loved The Renoma so much we stayed the entire 8 nights, and used the hotel as our home-base. I was not familiar with Tel Aviv so thought the best bet would be a hotel by the sea. The Renoma is in close proximity to other Internationally known hotels so I figured location-wise it would be a good bet, and it was. It was not only located in the perfect spot within steps of the Mediterranean (view from the terrace was gorgeous), it was within easy walking and biking distance to Jaffa, Carmel Mkt and Rothschild Street, and was surrounded by many cafes and restaurants. Instead of moving around the country as planned, we did several (easy) day trips... Sea of Galilee and Nazareth, Dead Sea, Jerusalem, and Bethlehem. It was great to arrive "home" at the end of the day and not have to worry about trying to find a suitable hotel at each spot, and packing/unpacking every day. The staff -- Dikla, Stephanie, Shani, and their colleagues were simply outstanding. I cannot thank them enough. Did I mention champagne reception and fresh pastries each morning? Without a doubt, it was my lucky day when I booked The Renoma. It was simply fabulous.
