Tel Aviv Hotels
There are plenty of choices for accommodation in Tel Aviv, but most of the big, smart hotels are across the street from the seafront promenade, several with entrances along Hayarkon Street.
Room rates are on the high side in all price brackets, but hotel standards tend to be high too. Prices come down and establishments generally become more modest the further they are from the beach and there are several good, mid-range places a couple of blocks inland. A particular treat is the abundant and varied Israeli breakfast, sometimes included in the room rate.
The Tel Aviv hotels below have been handpicked by our guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over NIS1200)
Moderate (NIS800-1200)
Cheap (up to NIS800)
These Tel Aviv hotel prices are the starting prices for a standard double room and include taxes and breakfast unless otherwise specified.
Luxury
Dan
The longest standing of Tel Aviv’s upmarket beachfront hotels, the Dan's unusual low-rise building and colourful exterior (on the beach side) makes an interesting change to the identikit high-rises that surrounds it. However, because of its age, some rooms seem to be at a lower standard than the price and reputation suggest.

David InterContinental
A gargantuan 5-star hotel, much of the David InterContinental’s clientele are here for business, but don’t let that put you off – a night spent here feels surprisingly intimate. Just across the road from Charles Clore Park and the beach, it’s a few minutes’ walk from Carmel Market and the Yemenite Quarter. Good value, apart from expensive Wi-Fi.

The Rothschild
Housed within a gorgeous, buttercup yellow building that’s almost as old as Israel itself, The Rothschild is a real sanctuary thanks to its tranquil courtyard and sympathetic décor. Service is top quality, as is the food served in the restaurant. Elsewhere, the emphasis is on natural – including the toiletries.

Alexander Tel Aviv

The Beachfront Hostel
A basic combination of hostel and hotel, The Beachfront is a little shabby and has amenities that some may find inadequate, particularly the dormitory-style rooms. But there’s hardly anywhere cheaper to stay in Tel Aviv, and it’s right on the beach. Breakfast is not included, but is offered at a restaurant next door.
