155 class A rooms and Suites situated in the beautiful scenery of the Judea Mountains. This project, based on the existing structure of a C class hotel aimed at group patronage, has been completely transformed and even turned upside down from its initial structure to adhere with the new concept as laid down by the new owner. Cramim is designed to create a secluded and high-end environment while blending in harmony with the surrounding Kibbutz and landscape, a hideaway located off the main highway between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv.
It is a theme-based design targeted to cater for guests who prefer their seclusion. For this reason, the hotel has a wide range of in-house facilities to offer such as indoor and outdoor swimming pools, 4000sqm of Spa and Lifestyle spaces, a wine cellar, spacious dining and lounging areas and of course an extensive inner courtyard acting as the Heartbeat of the Project.
Careful attention is given to the entrance "ceremony" since there is never a second chance for a first impression. It is thus that the guests are invited to ascend from where they are dropped off towards the Portico where for the first time, they are exposed to the breathtaking views framed by the structure's walls, floor and ceiling. The Courtyard is blocked off from the entrance promenade by a unique "Green Wall" with lavish shrubbery, lightly perforated by random openings of varying sizes. "Zen windows" provide specific views of the far of mountains, fields and clouds while protecting the privacy of the Guests. Day Guests using either the convention areas or the Spa areas, are well taken care of so that they blend with the Hotel facilities while maintaining the Hotel Guests privacy. As is the case in Hotels of this type, the Architecture serves to enhance the hotel's branding and so apart from the overall design and layout, the detailing and choice of materials inspire tranquility, nature and harmony providing a splendid background for a getaway.
