Step through the balcony door and the room makes sense at once: the city noise stays behind you, the air softens, and the sea is right there. That is what guests mean when they search for a hotel room with a balcony facing the sea in Bat Yam. At Almera Hotel Bat Yam, three room types offer it: the Deluxe room, the Junior Suite and the Sunset Suite. In all three, the balcony faces the sea.
The hotel stands at the north end of the Bat Yam promenade, on the first line to the sea. Before the promenade, though, it is worth lingering over the rooms themselves, because that is where most of the quiet hours of a stay are spent: how each one is made, how much space it gives you, and who it suits.
A hotel room with a balcony facing the sea in Bat Yam: what every room shares
Every guest room at Almera is designed in a modern, upscale style, every room is air-conditioned, and every room has a king-size bed. That is the foundation: a wide bed, comfortable air on a hot day, and a carefully composed space that feels good to come back to. What changes from room to room is the size, the number of guests, and whether the door leads to a balcony on the sea or to a city view.
So it helps to start with that one question. Three room types answer yes and two answer no. We will describe all five plainly, because a guest who comes for the balcony should know exactly where it exists.
Deluxe: 20 sqm for two, a king bed and a balcony on the sea
The Deluxe room is made for couples: up to two adults, 20 square metres, a 180/200 king bed and a balcony facing the sea. It is a compact room, which is why the balcony counts for so much. It is the place to step out for a moment, lean on the railing and watch the water.
For a couple on a quiet weekend, little more is needed: a wide bed, an air-conditioned room and a door that opens toward the sea.
Junior Suite: 34 sqm when there are three of you
The Junior Suite offers roughly 14 square metres more than the Deluxe: 34 sqm in all, with a 200/200 king bed, a sofa bed and a balcony facing the sea. It hosts up to three guests, so a couple and one more can share it without anyone giving up a proper bed.
Sunset Suite: an extra room and a balcony on the sea
The largest of the three: 41 sqm, up to four adults, a 200/200 king bed plus two twin beds, and an additional room for guests. The balcony faces the sea. With four adults, an extra room means a door you can close and a morning that does not begin with everyone queuing in the same space.
The name invites you to picture the evening hour. What we can say with certainty is that the balcony faces the sea and the beach is a short walk away.
Classic and Exclusive: when the view is the city
The Classic room (20 sqm, 180/200 king bed, up to two adults) and the Exclusive Suite (35.5 sqm, two bedrooms, a 180/200 king bed plus two twin beds, up to 2+2 guests) have no balcony and look out over the city. If the balcony is the reason you are coming, these are not the rooms for you.
On the other hand, the Exclusive Suite is the answer for a family that wants two bedrooms, and the Classic is a king bed and a carefully made room for a couple who spend most of the day outdoors.
Outside the door: first line, under 100 metres
The hotel sits on the first line to the sea, less than 100 metres from the beach. Getting down to the sand is not an expedition you have to plan. Around the hotel there is a good choice of recommended restaurants and bars, so dinner after a day by the water does not mean going far.
What the house has, and what it does not
The building has seven floors: five of guest rooms, an entrance lobby floor, and a gallery floor with the dining room. Reception works around the clock, and there are professional laundry and ironing services. A treatment room offers massages and massage packages.
What is not here: Almera has no swimming pool and no gym. If you need either, this is not the place. If you want calm, the sea and a wide bed, it is.
In the morning you go down to the gallery floor (G), to the designed dining room that looks out to the sea, with paintings by Nahum Gutman and Israeli art on the walls. A careful continental breakfast is served there, with fresh bread, cheeses, coffee and a full buffet. After a start like that, the balcony is waiting.
We look forward to hosting you: in a room with a balcony on the sea, at the north end of the Bat Yam promenade.
