The Inbal Hotel is located in Jerusalem in possibly the absolute best location in the city. It’s walking distance from the German Colony, the Old City and the market (ok, granted the market would be a bit of a schlep, but on a nice day – totally doable).  Required self disclosure – my husband and I were invited by the Inbal for the weekend. I also tweeted about it the whole weekend, but that was my choice. The hotel impressed me and the people were unbelievably nice and helpful. What a fantastic combination.

This Jerusalem hotel is 5-star. It looks like a 5-star hotel, has the amenities of a 5-star hotel and has the location of a 5-star hotel. So I’m not going to focus on that, because that’s boring. If you’ve been to a 5-star hotel, this is like the others. What makes the Inbal stand out is the service. We went to the spa (which was amazing and idiot me didn’t take photos.) I looked at the gym (but lazy me didn’t go work out and yes, didn’t photos of that either – but it was a great gym. Totally my bad for not going.)

I got back from China this morning at 3am. There will be many posts on the amazing things I saw in China when I finally get over jetlag and such, but in the meantime this was in my inbox and it was too good to not pass on.

I was perusing youtube and found a great dining room decorating video from Country Living. While the dining rooms in Israel are no where near as grand as this one (typically) it still gives some good advice on storing things and putting together collections. I especially liked the mismatched chairs and how she brought them together through color and fabric. The colors are a tad conservative for me, but no one can argue that the room is lovely and very livable.
