New York Apartment- By Harim

First Impressions

Honestly, when I first heard about New York Apartment- By Harim, I was curious about the name choice — it’s this unique boutique hotel right in the heart of Eilat, but there’s something charmingly unexpected about it. Walking up to the building on Los Angeles Street, you get this sense that someone really put thought into creating something different from the typical Red Sea resort experience.

The Space

What struck me immediately was how this place feels more like staying in a friend’s stylish apartment than a traditional hotel. The design has this cool, urban vibe that somehow works perfectly against Eilat’s desert backdrop. Each unit has its own personality — mine had this great little kitchen setup that actually made me want to cook, which is saying something when you’re on vacation. The attention to detail is what gets you; I mean, even the lighting feels intentional.

Location Perks

Being on Los Angeles Street puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close to everything but not drowning in tourist chaos. You can walk to the marina in about ten minutes, and the beach is practically around the corner. What I really appreciated was how easy it was to grab groceries or hit up some of the local spots that aren’t necessarily in every guidebook. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel that’s refreshing when so much of Eilat can feel a bit theme-park-ish.

Why It Works

The thing about staying here is that you get all the independence of having your own place, but with the backup of actual hotel service when you need it. The room setup gives you space to spread out — and honestly, after a day of snorkeling or exploring the desert, having somewhere that feels like home base makes all the difference. Plus, there’s something to be said for being able to make your morning coffee exactly how you like it.

Why Guests Love It

I think what really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both boutique and unpretentious at the same time. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or formal dining rooms, but you are getting thoughtful design and a location that locals would actually choose. The fact that it has such a high guest rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed there — it’s one of those places where the sum is definitely greater than its parts, and you end up recommending it to people without even meaning to.
