Some hotels have a shabbos atmosphere. The Waldorf, for example, has a shul on premises. They serve a big (expensive, but nice) Friday night meal. Shabbos morning there is a table outside the shul with cake and juice. The big breakfast buffet isn't cleared until shul is finished, and they have grape juice and rolls, so that is your daytime shabbos seuda. Then, if you choose, there is a fleishig buffet later in the afternoon which can be your third meal. Or you can bring rolls and eat in your room. Havdalla is available in the lobby at the end of shabbos.
I have also been to kosher hotels in Israel where I needed to find my own kiddush and havdalla, and the meal schedule shabbos day didn't accommodate the shul schedule.
If you want a shabbos atmosphere in your hotel you do need to stay in the right hotel.

kibbutz chofetz chaim, lavi and nir etzion are nice options |
For a mother-daughter trip I think nothing can compare to shabbos in Jerusalem, davening at the kotel Friday night...

Almost all kosher hotels in Jerusalem -- not just the pricey Waldorf-- are set up for Shabbat. Just pick one in your price range and in a location you like and with the hecsher you accept. They'll have Shabbat meals and kiddush wine and challah rolls and cake in the morning.
Almost every hotel will have a room set aside as a shul, ith a sefer Torah, etc., but also many hotel guests prefer to daven in the many neighborhood shuls throughout Jerusalem.

It wasn't very recent, but I've been to several kosher hotels in Jerusalem that did not have a shabbat atmosphere. I had to daven early to make it to breakfast before closing, had to ask for kiddush wine, had to ask (more than once) for havdalla supplies etc. And they might have had a shul, but not necessarily a minyan. It really depends on the hotel.

It's a nice hotel on a kibbutz. Beautiful grounds, much more rural than a city hotel.

Why not a hotel in teveriah a frum cgareidi hotel there you have aregular shabbes atmosphere and then you can have a walk around to the sea or just nearby ?.
Lavi is a good 20 minutes drive from teveriah
All the above mentioned hotels like chafetz chaim. Lavi. Nir etzion they are very shabbosdig.
In yerushalayim there is also the neviim boutique and the new yirmiyahu 33.
That are in town near all the from areas20- 40 minutes walk from the kosel approxamately
But really why bot a air bnb and take away and somewhere like tzfat or teveria.you can use public transport for those and local taxi.
Eretz yisrael is so beautiful ashame to miss out the mekomot hakedoshim in the north.

About transportation you can definitely use buses and taxis if you don’t want to rent. Just make sure to have it all figured out beforehand.

There’s a very nice guesthouse/hotel in the old city. Shabbos right next to the Kotel is amazing!

anything a bit more budget friendly? I definitely would want a shabbos atmosphere.
