Modiin is getting its first-ever hotel this week as the Jacob Hotel is set to open its doors in the city in central Israel.
Jacob Modiin is located near the city’s Azrieli Mall, and offers 85 rooms and event facilities, the hotel says in a statement. It plans to open a spa and restaurant-bar in the future, it adds.
Modiin was founded in the 1990s, and shares a municipality with the nearby towns of Maccabim and Re’ut. Its population was 99,000 in 2022, making it Israel’s 19th-largest city. Located about halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, the city is seen as a convenient suburb for the country’s two largest population centers, and is home to many English-speaking immigrants.
