peace&love

First Impressions

Walking up to peace&love on Rudd Street, you’ll honestly wonder if you’ve got the right address. This unique boutique hotel doesn’t scream “hotel” from the outside — it’s more like stumbling upon someone’s artistically eccentric home. The entrance feels intimate, almost secretive, which I actually love because it means you’re not dealing with tour bus crowds.

The Vibe and Design

Inside, peace&love lives up to its name with this wonderfully bohemian atmosphere that somehow works perfectly in Eilat. The decor is eclectic without being chaotic — think vintage furniture mixed with local art and plants everywhere. You know what struck me most? The attention to small details, like handpicked books scattered around and mismatched but beautiful ceramics. It’s the kind of place where you want to curl up with a coffee and just soak in the creativity.

The Room Experience

My room felt more like staying in an artist’s loft than a typical hotel space. Each one is different — mine had exposed brick, quirky lighting, and this amazing view that caught the Red Sea in the distance. The bathroom was compact but thoughtfully designed, and honestly, the whole space just made me feel more relaxed than I expected. There’s no pretense here, just genuine comfort with character.

Location and Neighborhood Feel

Here’s what locals won’t tell you — this part of Rudd Street puts you right in the heart of Eilat’s more authentic side, away from the massive resort strip. You’re a easy walk to the beach, but you’re also surrounded by actual neighborhood cafés and that little restaurant around the corner that serves incredible shakshuka. I mean, you get the Red Sea and the mountains as your backdrop, but without feeling like you’re in a tourist bubble.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets peace&love apart is how it attracts people who want something different from their Eilat experience. The 8.8 rating makes sense when you realize this isn’t trying to be everything to everyone — it’s unapologetically itself. You’ll meet interesting travelers here, the kind who choose character over chain hotels. If you’re looking for a standard resort experience, this isn’t it, but if you want to feel like you’ve discovered something special in Eilat, well, you have.
