The 10 hotels
Looking for a family hotel in Israel that kids will love? These are the 10 hotels we'd book with children: Eilat hotels with kids' clubs and water slides, a Dead Sea resort with a children's club, kibbutz hotels in the Galilee and the Jerusalem hills, and city hotels with pools in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
For a holiday where nobody has to leave the hotel, Royal Garden in Eilat has pools with water slides and suites with a separate living room, and the Isrotel Sport Club next door is all-inclusive with a free kids' club. In the north, Pastoral Kfar Blum and Nof Ginosar are close to kayaking on the Jordan River and the beaches of the Sea of Galilee.
Every hotel is on the map with its area and price level, and links to its own Booking.com page so you can check family rooms and prices for your dates. Kids' clubs often run only in summer and on holidays, so check the hotel's activity schedule before you book.
