For decades this was the popular Laromme Hotel. The 1980s-style Inbal was originally slated to be a skyscraper, but public pressure demanded it be redesigned as a low-rise that would not clash with the city's skyline. The result is an interesting structure set at the edge of Liberty Bell Park (a plus for children) and built around a balconied atrium lobby. A new Executive Lounge was opened in 2008, but other public areas and guest rooms need updating. Rooms come in two sizes; the larger (maximum) rooms are spacious, with luxurious bathrooms, and cost about $70 (£35) additional for a double. There are 14 well-appointed suites. The outdoor pool is covered with an air balloon and heated for winter swimming. Tip: Guests get triple El Al points for each stay.
