Fodor's Expert Review Royal Beach Eilat

On the promenade, across from Royal Beach (Eilat's answer to Miami's South Beach), this sprawling hotel blends comfort, glamour, and sophistication. The serene atrium is furnished with cushy leather couches and decorated with cobalt-blue sculptures suspended from the ceiling. Three-story glass windows frame graceful bamboo and palm trees. A large terrace—crammed with colorful flowers, overhead fans, and kilim rugs—faces the Bay of Eilat, providing views that are all the more stunning at sundown. Rooms have comfortable sofas and chairs and private balconies, and suites have their own whirlpool tubs. For the best views, ask for a higher floor.
