VERT Dead Sea Hotel is a 304-room resort in northern Ein Bokek operated by AFI Hotels, in the building formerly known as Crowne Plaza Dead Sea. AFI Hotels lists indoor and outdoor pools, spa facilities, dining, a children’s club, and event facilities. The operator’s current pages use different wording for the shoreline arrangement, including “private beach,” “direct access,” and “adjacent beach,” so confirm the operating bathing area and included guest services for the travel dates.

The Vert Dead Sea stands in the northern section of the Ein Bokek hotel zone, next to the Lot Spa Hotel, per the operator’s About page. Ein Bokek concentrates more than a dozen resorts along roughly 2 kilometers of shoreline, connected by a pedestrian promenade.
AFI Hotels (Africa Israel Hotels), the Israeli hospitality group that operates the property, rebranded the hotel after its Crowne Plaza years under IHG. The building and beachfront position carried over, and the wider Ein Bokek resort area puts public beaches, a mall, and restaurants within walking distance.
The Vert Dead Sea Hotel in Ein Bokek, formerly the Crowne Plaza Dead Sea, offers 304 rooms in standard, deluxe, club, and suite categories, according to AFI Hotels, the Israeli group that operates the property, with rooms marketed as overlooking the Dead Sea or the desert mountains behind the resort strip.
The club rooms are reserved for couples aged 18 and over and connect to a business lounge with a dairy buffet, which the hotel’s own listing says operates Thursday through Saturday and admits adults only. Families typically book standard or deluxe rooms; the DeadSea.com guide to Dead Sea hotels for families compares child-friendly setups across the strip.
The spa is the Vert’s strongest card, and AFI Hotels describes it as one of the largest spa complexes among Dead Sea hotels.
AFI Hotels lists about 60 spa treatments at the Vert Dead Sea Hotel, including massages and body treatments, alongside a heated indoor pool filled with Dead Sea water, two sulfur pools, a jacuzzi, and wet and dry saunas, with spa entry limited to guests aged 16 and older.
Outside, an unheated pool operates year-round beside the beach with a separate toddler pool, according to the hotel’s activities page, and the main AFI Hotels listing adds a pool bar serving snacks. Dead Sea water itself reaches 34.2 percent salinity, so most guests alternate fresh-water pool time with sea floats of 15 to 20 minutes; the guide to how long to soak in the Dead Sea explains why. For a broader look at mineral-water facilities along the strip, see the comparison of Dead Sea spa hotels on the Israeli shore.
The hotel runs one main restaurant, Rosemary, described on the hotel’s own listing as serving a rich menu throughout the day; in practice this means the buffet breakfast and dinner service typical of Ein Bokek resorts. The Lot’s Wife Bar in the lobby serves a dairy menu plus alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and lounge guests get an additional dairy buffet on the days the lounge operates. For independent options along the promenade, the Ein Bokek restaurants guide maps what is within walking distance.
