Tel Aviv offers a wide range of accommodations, from first-class luxury hotels to austere youth hostels at bargain prices. All of the city's hotels are located within blocks of the sea, and the major five-star establishments occupy prime real estate on Yarkon Street, parallel to the Beachfront Promenade. Reservations must be made well in advance at most hotels, as occupancy rates can be high throughout the year. Weekends are particularly busy because this is when hotels offer special deals to local customers.
