A luxury Eilat resort was named the best hotel in the Middle East, and the 25th best in the world, by TripAdvisor’s 2017 Traveler’s Choice Awards.

The world’s most popular travel planning and booking site last week announced the winners of its annual user-generated awards, and Herods Vitalis Spa Hotel Eilat was ranked among the best properties in the world.

Thousands of 5-star ratings on the TripAdvisor website placed Herod’s first in the “Top Hotels Overall” category for the Middle East, and the 25th best in the category’s global ranking.

The Aria Hotel in Budapest, a luxurious music-themed boutique property, took the overall number 1 spot for 2017.
