Travel Hotels - our story
At Travel Hotels, every stay is an invitation to explore.
Founded by Bat Chen and Tal Yeshuah in 2007, our story began with one small hotel in Kibbutz Eilon and grew into a nationwide collection of eight nature hotels stretching from the Galilee to the Arava Desert.
We believe real travel means connection – to nature, local people, and authentic Israeli experiences.
Each Travel Hotel blends cozy rooms and rich breakfast with insider tips for hikes, rivers, attractions, and restaurants loved by locals. Our digital guest app helps travelers plan their adventures easily and responsibly.
We lead sustainable tourism in Israel: digital check-in, LED lighting, water-saving systems, EV charging, and zero single-use plastics. Every property features herb gardens, recycled-wood play areas, and a Vegan-Friendly certification.
Travel Hotels welcomes families, couples, and travelers with dogs who love discovering Israel’s outdoors.
Our mission is simple – to be a home for travelers who want comfort, connection, and a positive impact.
Stay with us, explore Israel differently, and see familiar landscapes through new eyes.
