Some mornings begin with the smell of fresh bread, a cup of coffee in hand and the sea in front of you. If you are asking where to sleep in Bat Yam near the promenade and the sea, Almera Hotel Bat Yam answers through the table first. The hotel stands on the first line to the water, at the north end of the Bat Yam promenade, and its gallery floor holds a designed dining room that looks out over the sea.
Here is the order of things: what is served at breakfast and on Friday evening, the room where you sit to eat it, and then the location, the bedrooms and the practical details. Pull up a chair first.
The breakfast table: fresh bread, cheeses and homemade jams
Every day the dining room serves a rich, carefully put together continental breakfast, laid out as a full buffet. It opens with fresh bread, fine cheeses and coffee, then moves on to salted fish, fresh salads, pastries and cakes. Beside them you will find homemade jams and natural juices.
Two quite different mornings can be built from that table. If you like a savoury start, take bread, cheese, a piece of salted fish and a fresh salad. If you lean sweet, go to the pastries, the cakes and the jams, and finish with a glass of natural juice. It is a breakfast that follows your pace, not a fixed menu that decides for you.
A dining room with something to look at
The dining room is on the gallery floor (G), and it is intimate and designed with care. It faces the sea, so even if you linger over a second plate, the view stays with you.
The design brings together paintings by Nachum Gutman and other Israeli art. It is a room that invites one more cup of coffee, with a painting in front of you and the water beyond it.
Friday evening: fish, hot sides and dessert
On Friday the table moves from morning to evening. Dinner is a Mediterranean-style buffet, and the menu is built on fish and hot dairy dishes, with no meat. The fish dishes rotate, and alongside them come hot side dishes, vegetables prepared in different ways, fresh salads and desserts.
That dinner is part of the Friday half-board deal: a night’s stay, breakfast, a Mediterranean dinner, free parking and a late Saturday check-out at 20:30. Prices start from 1,400 ₪ for a couple. For anyone who wants to close the week at a set table, without hunting for a parking space or rushing out the door, it ties everything together.
Where to sleep in Bat Yam near the promenade and the sea: first line, under 100 metres
When you pick a place by the sea, the real question is how many steps lie between the front door and the beach. At Almera the answer is short: the hotel is on the first line to the sea, at the north end of the promenade, less than 100 metres from the beach. A walk along the promenade after the buffet, or before dinner, needs no planning.
The building has seven floors: five floors of guest rooms, the entrance lobby floor, and the gallery floor with the dining room. Reception works around the clock, so a late arrival or a question in the middle of the night always has someone to answer it.
And what is not here: Almera has no pool and no gym. If a pool is the centre of your holiday, you will find one elsewhere. If you want the sea close, a careful breakfast and an unhurried pace, this is what you came for.
After the meal: restaurants, bars and a treatment room
The streets near the hotel have a good range of recommended restaurants and bars, so evenings other than Friday are open to choice: dinner out, a last glass of wine or coffee, and an easy walk back.
When the body asks for quiet after a day on foot, the hotel has a treatment room offering massages.
The room after breakfast: who sleeps where
Every guest room is air-conditioned and styled in a modern, upscale way, and every one has a king-size bed. The differences between them are space and view.
Three room types have a balcony facing the sea. The Deluxe room is 20 sqm with a 180/200 king bed, for up to two adults. The Junior Suite is 34 sqm with a 200/200 king and a sofa bed, for up to three guests. The Sunset Suite is 41 sqm with a 200/200 king, two twin beds and an additional room, and hosts up to four adults.
Two room types face the city and have no balcony. The Classic room is 20 sqm with a 180/200 king, for up to two adults. The Exclusive Suite is 35.5 sqm, with two bedrooms, a 180/200 king and two twin beds, for up to 2+2 guests, and an optional connecting door to the neighbouring room can be added. They suit guests for whom the sea means mostly breakfast and the promenade, rather than a view from the bed.
Practical details: arriving, parking and times

Some moments are worth lingering over: the fresh bread, the coffee, the sea beyond the plate. Almera Hotel Bat Yam is built around them. We look forward to hosting you.
