  • The Adam Boutique Hotel in Eilat offers a subdued, family-friendly alternative to the city's more glitzy northern beach resorts.
  • The hotel provides comfortable, homey accommodations and features a well-regarded kosher dairy Italian restaurant, Bianca, for dinner.
  • It serves as a "soft landing" for visitors seeking to balance Eilat's lively tourist areas with its natural beauty, particularly appealing to Israeli families and couples.

Eilat presents a dual personality: the vibrant, neon-lit north beach area teeming with hotels and restaurants, and the serene southern stretch towards Taba, known for its natural beauty, coral reefs, and coexistence between humans and marine life. The Adam Boutique Hotel aims to bridge these two worlds, offering a comfortable retreat for visitors.

A satisfying vacation in the Red Sea resort manages to combine the two elements. And a soft landing for that is available at the Adam Boutique Hotel, a refurbished 85-room establishment in the former Browns Hotel.

— David BrinnIntroducing the hotel as a place that balances Eilat's contrasting attractions.

Located near the Ice Mall, the 85-room Adam Boutique Hotel, a refurbished former Browns Hotel, is a short walk from the main tourist attractions. In contrast to the opulent hotels nearby, Adam emphasizes a subdued, family-friendly atmosphere. The hotel was notably occupied by Israeli families and couples, reflecting a shift from the pre-October 7 influx of foreign tourists.

In contrast, Adam is subdued and family-friendly. Rather than focusing on the chandeliers and pillars, it stresses comfortable homeyness.

— David BrinnDescribing the hotel's atmosphere compared to other Eilat establishments.

The rooms are described as light-filled and inviting, with some featuring balconies equipped with jacuzzis overlooking the Eilat mountains. Guests can enjoy the pool, open until 6 p.m., and access a poolside snack bar after exploring the area's attractions, such as the Almogim Nature Reserve for snorkeling or Hof Shel Mosh for a bohemian beach experience.

The rooms are light-filled and inviting, and ours featured a balcony with a jacuzzi, overlooking the breathtaking Eilat mountains to the west.

While the hotel's breakfast buffet is noted for its quality, the true surprise is its dinner service. The breakfast area transforms into Bianca, a kosher dairy Italian restaurant, which the reviewer praises as serving some of the best Italian dishes experienced in Israel. The restaurant features a tabun oven producing fresh focaccia and pizza, and offers an extensive, moderately priced menu with a variety of appetizers, salads, fish dishes, and pasta creations. The reviewer highlights specific dishes like Chestnut Ravioli and Truffles Alfredo.

Of course, the highlight of most hotel stays in Israel is the breakfast, and the Adam doesn’t disappoint.
