The Inbal Jerusalem

The Inbal Jerusalem is an upscale hotel at 3 Jabotinsky Street in Jerusalem, Israel, next to Liberty Bell Park in the Talbiya area. The location is residential and leafy, roughly a 15-20 minute walk from the German Colony's Emek Refaim Street and from the Rehavia neighbourhood, and about 2 km from the Old City, so taxis or buses are the usual way to reach Jaffa Gate. The hotel dates from the late 1970s and was designed in a modernist style, with a lobby and public rooms that have been refurbished over time. Its setting beside the park gives it a calm atmosphere compared with hotels in the busy centre. Accommodation includes Superior and Deluxe rooms and suites, most with free wifi, work areas and bathrooms in a contemporary style, and some rooms have views over the park or city. The property has an outdoor pool, a spa and a fitness centre, which makes it popular with families and with visitors staying several nights. Dining includes a restaurant serving an Israeli breakfast buffet and meals, along with a bar and lounge. The hotel observes kosher practice, in line with many Jerusalem hotels. Service is professional and business-oriented, with meeting rooms and a concierge able to arrange tours and transfers. It also hosts events and conferences, which can make the lobby busy at times. The Inbal sits at a lower price point than the city's top luxury hotels, at roughly 1,000 to 2,400 ILS per night, depending on season and room category. Visitors who want upscale service in a quieter residential area, close to the cafes of the German Colony and the Jerusalem Theatre, will find it a comfortable base. The Jerusalem Theatre and the Israel Museum area are also within a short taxi ride, and the quiet evenings suit guests who prefer a residential feel to the bustle of the downtown core.
