Recommended Hotels Always reserve a room before arriving in Jerusalem, especially during all major Jewish and Christian holidays. The regular season lasts from 1 March to 15 November, with the exception of holiday periods; the low season excludes Hanukkah/Christmas. Reduced rates are available at many hotels through tour operators that specialize in Israel or through airlines as part of land-package arrangements. The accommodations desk at Ben-Gurion airport can help you find a hotel room if you’ve arrived without a reservation. In West Jerusalem hotels, the room price usually includes a substantial “Israeli” breakfast; in East Jerusalem, the price usually includes at least a Continental breakfast. Most West Jerusalem hotels (with the exception of Christian hospices and guest houses) provide only kosher food services. Hotels in East Jerusalem do not offer kosher facilities.
