Tel Aviv is a city that never quite sits still. A sun-soaked metropolis on the Mediterranean where Bauhaus architecture meets rooftop bars, and ancient history runs alongside one of the world's most vivid food and nightlife scenes. Electric, warm, and relentlessly modern, it moves to its own rhythm, day and night.
Where to stay
seafront classics and polished stays
For the best overall stay, go with The Norman Tel Aviv. It has the strongest balance of design, service, pool, dining, and location. For a more atmospheric Jaffa stay, choose The Jaffa Hotel or The Setai Tel Aviv. The Jaffa Hotel feels more design-forward; The Setai Tel Aviv feels more secluded and resort-like. For a true beachfront luxury tower, start with The David Kempinski Tel Aviv. For a smaller boutique stay with character, The Drisco Hotel is the sharpest pick.
