Ramat Rachel

Only a few minutes' drive from the bustling Jerusalem city center and the Old City, among the tranquil fields of Kibbutz Ramat Rachel, stands the Ramat Rachel Hotel. The unique location – a kibbutz adjacent to the city – makes the Ramat Rachel Hotel the ideal place for those who prefer a quieter home-base with a country feel, but do not want to compromise on convenience and proximity to Jerusalem attractions.

The Ramat Rachel Hotel offers a variety of rooms, a banquet hall, a kosher restaurant, an active synagogue, and all the amenities one would expect of a luxury hotel. One of the hotel's pluses is the sprawling country club. The all-weather swimming pool is surrounded by manicured lawns, tennis and basketball courts and other sports facilities. And after a strenuous day of touring or just an intense workout at the gym, guests can head inside and unwind in the club's sauna, steam-room or jacuzzi.

Kibbutz Ramat Rachel is also home to an international archaeological site that offers its many volunteers and students not only excavations but also a series of tours and a wealth of social activities for a truly transformational experience.
