About Herbert Samuel Hod Hotel
Hod Hamidbar is a lavish resort and hotel, located just north of Ein Bokek on the shores of the Dead Sea. With private beach access, guests can walk right out of the hotel and into the restorative salty seawater and can spend the day on the beach relaxing on a sunbed under the protection of a large parasol.
The resort has a tranquil atmosphere with opulent furnishings and décor in relaxing neutral colors. The guest rooms are spacious and fully furnished with modern comforts, including air conditioning, minibars, coffee makers, and refrigerators.
Several of the rooms also feature views of the Dead Sea. Along with convenient access to the beach, guests can enjoy evening entertainment activities, including Thai Chi, yoga, and hiking. There are also a variety of on-site facilities, including a spa and an outdoor saltwater pool.
Hod Hamidbar is a two-hour drive from Ben Gurion Airport when taking Route 6 and Route 31. If traveling via bus, take route 10 from the airport to Jerusalem. From the third floor of the Jerusalem Central Bus Station, take route 444 to Ein Bokek. The hotel is less than a one-minute walk from Road 90.
Accommodation Options
With 203 elegantly designed rooms, the Hod Hamidbar offers a wide selection of accommodations to suit your budget, from twin rooms to a spacious penthouse.
Twin Room
The twin room is a great choice for solo travelers or couples looking for affordable rooms. These rooms measure 215 square feet and include a single twin bed, along with all the standard amenities. Each room is equipped with a fridge, flatscreen TV, satellite channels, desk, and minibar. You can also stare out at the sea and surrounding region from the balcony.
Deluxe Double Room
The deluxe double room offers more spacious accommodations, with 366 square feet of marble flooring. The room resembles a small apartment, with a comfortable double bed in the center surrounded by a desk, wardrobe, and kitchen area. Interconnecting rooms are also available for guests traveling in a group.
Villa with Private Pool
Hod Hamidbar has several villas with private pools, available with king-size or queen-size beds. Each room is fully furnished with modern amenities. However, the real highlight is the outdoor balcony with a private pool and views of the Dead Sea.
The balcony includes a small sitting area and a flat-screen satellite TV, allowing you to lounge outdoors without making a trip down to the beach.
Penthouse Room
For those needing more space to stretch out, consider staying in the penthouse. Covering 646 square feet, the penthouse is the largest option at Hod Hamidbar.
The room has a king-size bed positioned across from a massive window overlooking the Dead Sea. You can lay in bed and fall asleep while watching the calm waters. As with the villas, the penthouse has a private balcony with a sitting area.
