The Crowne Plaza Haifa left IHG during the pandemic, but the hotel is now back with IHG.
I still miss the good old days when I was able to use just a few thousand Starpoints per night to stay at hotels like the Sheraron Plaza Jerusalem, Sheraton Plaza Haifa, Sheraton Moriah Tiberias, Herod’s Vitalis Spa Eilat, and the Le Meridian Dead Sea. Alas, like Starwood itself, those days are never coming back.

Which of these, if any, can have 2 adults and 2 preschoolers in one room on points?
I haven’t had issues with that in one room in Israel.
I ask because, for example, when I try to do 2+2 in say the Hilton tlv, i get no standard rooms (just overpriced premium ones). when taking it down to just 2 adults + 1 I get standard rooms appearing
I don’t think they will care. The Waldorf definitely doesn’t care.
What about Citi points for King David?
I’m not aware of bonus value for travel vs just cashing the points out at 1 cent each.
