The three-and-a-half-pearl Leonardo Boutique Rehovot is a contemporary and sleek property located about a 30-minute drive from central Tel Aviv. Built in 2010, top Israeli designers and architects had a hand in its look and feel, and it shows. The 116 rooms and suites have a sophisticated and handsome style featuring mostly neutral tones and minimal art. All come with flat-screen TVs, AC, mini-fridges, bathrobes, and work desks. Suites are spacious, featuring separate living rooms and wet bar areas. Guests have access to a snazzy business lounge and small gym, but there are no full restaurant or spa. A quality Israeli breakfast buffet, however, is served for a fee. Travelers wanting to be in Tel Aviv should consider Leonardo Art, which is along the beach and has a rooftop pool.

The upper-middle-range Leonardo Suite By the Beach is a 116-room tower property located across the street from Bat Yam Beach, a 20-minute drive south of Tel Aviv. Partial renovations in 2015 breathed fresh life into the decades-old property, though wear and tear is visible and maintenance is sometimes lacking. Additional downsides include mediocre food and a fee for parking. Still, this property is popular with business and leisure travelers looking to spend time on the beach. A popular small spa, Israeli breakfast buffet (fee), and lovely rooftop pool are quality features, and the hotel has agreements with a gym and restaurants that it shares space with inside of an old mall. For a beachfront option in Tel Aviv, Leonardo Art Tel Aviv offers similar (and often better maintained) features with a similar rate.

The Scots Hotel is easily the nicest property in Tiberias -- which isn't to say it is exceptionally luxurious. It's a perfectly pleasant four-pearl hotel with gorgeous, lush three-tiered grounds overlooking the sea. The historic building dates to 1894, when a Scottish surgeon constructed it to be a hospital, and some of the rooms in the historic section of old stone walls. Rooms in the modern section are big and serviceable if a bit plain. The breakfast buffet and dinner buffets, however, are both excellent, and the Scottish-themed Ceilidh Bar serves 80 types of whiskey. Features include a gym, a spa, and a pool, though the pool has to be accessed by an elevated walkway over the road. Guests should also note that though the water views are spectacular, there is no direct access to the sea.
