Leonardo Negev
Leonardo Negev is a hotel in the northern part of Beersheba, a city in southern Israel. It has several hundred rooms, meeting facilities, an outdoor pool, a spa, a fitness area, a bar, and a coffee shop on the premises.
Beersheba grew rapidly as a regional center during the second half of the 20th century, and this hotel was built as part of that expansion to accommodate the growing number of business visitors. The city itself is one of the oldest inhabited sites in the Middle East, though its modern layout dates mainly from the last century.
The name references the Negev desert that begins at the southern edge of Beersheba and defines much of the region's character. Guests staying here tend to be business travelers and conference attendees, which gives the place a practical, working rhythm rather than a leisurely one.
The hotel sits close to Beersheba's main roads, making it easy to reach the city center and the train station from there. Guests planning to explore the Negev desert beyond the city would do well to rent a car, as many points of interest are not served by public transport.
Beersheba sits right at the northern edge of the Negev desert, so hotel guests can go from an urban street to open desert terrain in just a few minutes by car. This makes the property one of the few city hotels where a short drive is all it takes to reach a dramatically different landscape.
