Kosher vacations have never been more accessible. Whether you’re considering an organized tour or a self-planned getaway, ensuring you have kosher food available is a priority for many. Thankfully, there’s a growing list of options that cater specifically to this need.
Hotels offering kosher services can be a game-changer for travelers observing kashrut. These range from fully kosher hotels open year-round, some of which are equipped with a shul and a mikvah, to those that provide kosher meal plans or house a kosher restaurant on their premises. Besides these hotels, there are charming kosher B&Bs which not only serve a delightful kosher breakfast but are also strategically located close to kosher eateries.
Many travelers prefer the convenience of staying at kosher hotels, alleviating the need to hunt for kosher food options during their trip. This allows guests the flexibility to dine in-house or explore nearby kosher restaurants.
For the purposes of this guide, I’ll be excluding hotels in Israel, given that a majority of them offer kosher options. I cannot cover all the kosher-friendly hotels out there so I’ve curated a list spotlighting notable kosher hotels across Europe, the Caribbean, the US and Dubai. Find more kosher-friendly hotels by searching TJT by location or use our “search hotels nearby” function.
