Kosher Hotel & Lodging Requirements to be listed in the
Kosher Travel Info "Kosher Hotel & Lodging Database".

OK... A Orthodox Shul has separate seating. A kosher restaurant sells kosher food and does not mix milk and meat products. A kosher Mikvah, obviously has a kosher "ma'ayan", or rainwater collected in the proper way. But what makes a hotel kosher?

Most orthodox Jewish travelers for business purposes are not necessary looking for a "Kosher Hotel". All you need a hotel for is a place to sleep... They are mostly looking for a nearby synagogue or kosher food establishment. So in our case, the people looking for a kosher hotel will mostly be people or families traveling for vacation and looking for a complete kosher package, or in other words, a Kosher Resort.

So for the purpose of our kosher database, the requirements to be listed in the Kosher Hotel & Lodging Database are as following:

• The hotel, resort or lodging should offer a Kosher Food plan or have kosher kitchenettes so guest can prepare their own kosher food.
   

• The establishment must be "User Friendly" for the Shabbat ("Saturday") observant Jew. For example: If your door locks are electronic card types, the hotel should offer upon request a "Key" to the Shabbat observant traveler for Saturday use so they don't have to use the electronic card during Shabbat. Shabbat is observed from Friday at sundown till Saturday night.
   

• Optional (Highly Preferred but not required). The hotel should have a Shul or Minyan (room to use as a synagogue) on premises.
   

• Optional (Highly Preferred but not required). The hotel should have a Mikvah on premises or be close to a kosher Mikvah nearby.

If you don't meet the above requirements, but you do cater to Kosher Travelers (Close to a nearby synagogue, etc) you can still list your hotel or lodging with us. You should note that information in your listing.

Proceed to Submit your hotel or lodging establishment to the Kosher Travel Hotel Database.
