On HaYarkon Street, along the seafront, stand The Vista at Hilton Tel Aviv at number 205A by Independence Park (from around 660 €) – the highest entry rate in our Tel Aviv portfolio – The David Kempinski at number 51 (660 €), the Sheraton Grand Tel Aviv at 115 (450 €) and the Dan Tel Aviv at 99 (230 €).
In Jaffa, the old port city to the south, follow The Jaffa (410 €), The Setai on David Razi'el Street (360 €) and The Drisco on Auerbach Street (310 €) – the only Relais & Châteaux property in the city. In the centre sit the David InterContinental on Kaufman Street (520 €) and The Carlton on Dizengoff Street (260 €). North of the city, in Herzliya, stands The Ritz-Carlton (480 €).
One street, four hotels: HaYarkon and the seafront
Tel Aviv makes the choice unusually simple, because the luxury hotels are concentrated along a single boulevard. HaYarkon Street runs parallel to the Mediterranean for the length of the city, and four of our ten properties stand on it.
The Setai Tel Aviv · JaffaAt number 205A, beside Independence Park at the northern end, is The Vista at Hilton Tel Aviv (from around 660 €), whose categories – Vista, Premium, Grand Vista, Corner Vista and Aviv – are named around the view. At number 51, further south, stands The David Kempinski (660 €) with six suite categories up to Royal and Presidential. Between them are the Sheraton Grand Tel Aviv at 115 (450 €) and the Dan Tel Aviv at 99 (230 €).Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThe practical consequence: on HaYarkon, which side your room faces is the decision, not the address. All four look out over the same sea, and in every one of them a sea-facing room is a separate and more expensive category than one facing the city. Register the preference before you book – our travel advisors will lodge it directly with the property.
Away from the boulevard, the character changes completely. Jaffa to the south is the old port city, and the three properties there – The Jaffa (410 €), The Setai (360 €) and The Drisco (310 €) – are the ones with historic rooms rather than sea frontage. The Jaffa names its categories accordingly: Deluxe Historic and Executive Historic Wing.
Our travel advisors' insider tip
The first thing to know about Tel Aviv is the price level. With a median entry rate of around 430 € per night, this is one of the more expensive destinations we cover – and for an unusual reason: not because the ceiling is high, but because the low end is very thin. Only one address starts below 260 €, and six of the ten begin above 400 €. Budget accordingly rather than being surprised.
Second, the geography: the city is walkable along the sea. From HaYarkon Street you can walk south to Jaffa in about forty minutes along the promenade, or cycle it in fifteen – Tel Aviv is flat and has a dense bike-share network. Only The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya is genuinely out of town, around ten kilometres north.
Third, the programmes: the spread here is unusually wide for ten properties. Marriott Bonvoy and iPrefer lead with two each, and Relais & Châteaux, the Leaders Club, IHG Rewards, Hilton Honors and GHA Discovery each have one. Eight of the ten are in a points programme; The Drisco belongs to Relais & Châteaux, which is a collection rather than a points programme, and only the Dan Tel Aviv takes part in nothing at all.
Hotels in Tel Aviv by area: where to stay?
Tel Aviv divides cleanly into three: the seafront, the city behind it, and Jaffa to the south. The distances are short – the character is not.
David InterContinental Tel Aviv · Neve TzedekThese four areas cover our portfolio.
HaYarkon Street – the seafront
Four of our ten properties stand on the boulevard along the Mediterranean: The Vista at Hilton Tel Aviv at 205A by Independence Park (from around 660 €), The David Kempinski at 51 (660 €), the Sheraton Grand Tel Aviv at 115 (450 €) and the Dan Tel Aviv at 99 (230 €). Same sea, same promenade – what differs is the property and which way the room faces.
Jaffa – the old port city
South of the modern city, with stone lanes and a working harbour: The Setai on David Razi'el Street, whose suites include a Jaffa category (360 €), The Jaffa with its Deluxe Historic and Executive Historic Wing rooms (410 €) and The Drisco on Auerbach Street (310 €) – the only Relais & Châteaux property in the city, with Luxury, Norton and Arches suites.
The city centre
Behind the seafront, among the Bauhaus streets: the David InterContinental on Kaufman Street with its Atrium, Jaffa, Mediterranean, Royal and Corner suites (520 €) and The Carlton Tel Aviv on Dizengoff Street (260 €) and, on HaYarkon, the Dan Tel Aviv at 230 € – the lowest entry rate in our Tel Aviv portfolio.
Herzliya – outside Tel Aviv
One address is not in the city: The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya on HaShunit Street, around ten kilometres north (480 €). It has the widest suite range of any property here – eight categories including Duplex, Carlton and two family types – and a marina setting. But it is a separate town, and getting into Tel Aviv means a drive.
Suites in Tel Aviv – and travelling with children
For a city with ten properties, Tel Aviv has an unusually deep suite offering – almost every house lists four or more categories.
The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya · HerzliaThe widest range is at The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya, with eight: Corner, Executive, Duplex, Presidential, Family Executive, Family, Carlton and Studio (from around 480 €). The David Kempinski follows with six – Executive, Grand Panorama, Mediterranean, Royal, Panorama and Presidential (660 €) – and The Setai with five, including a Jaffa suite (360 €).
The David InterContinental lists Atrium, Jaffa, Mediterranean, Royal and Corner (520 €), the Sheraton Grand Marina, Jaffa, Mediterranean, Ambassador and a Presidential Duplex (450 €), and The Vista at Hilton five categories built around the view (660 €). The Jaffa has Deluxe Historic, Executive Historic Wing, David Presidential and Royal (410 €), and The Drisco the Luxury, Norton and Arches suites (310 €).
A pattern worth noticing: three separate properties name a suite after Jaffa – The Setai, the David InterContinental and the Sheraton Grand. The old port city is the reference point of the whole city.
For families, three properties list dedicated categories: The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya with both Family and Family Executive (480 €), The Setai with Deluxe Family and Executive Family (360 €) and the Dan Tel Aviv with a Family category (230 €) – the most affordable of the three.
What a stay in Tel Aviv costs
Tel Aviv is one of the more expensive destinations we cover, at a median entry rate of around 430 € per night. That figure deserves context, because it does not mean the city has a high ceiling. It does not: nothing here reaches the 1.500 € of the Paris palaces or the 1.270 € of the Belmond Cipriani in Venice.
What Tel Aviv has is a very thin low end. The cheapest address, the Dan Tel Aviv on HaYarkon Street, starts at around 230 € – roughly the median of Prague or Copenhagen, and well above Seville or the Algarve. And six of the ten properties begin above 400 €.
At the top are The Vista at Hilton and The David Kempinski, both at around 660 €, followed by the David InterContinental (520 €), The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya (480 €) and the Sheraton Grand on HaYarkon (450 €).
Below the middle come The Jaffa (410 €), The Setai in Jaffa (360 €), The Drisco (310 €), The Carlton (260 €) and the Dan Tel Aviv (230 €). At this price level the suitespot benefits carry real weight: breakfast for two and up to 100 USD hotel credit are worth the same here as anywhere, against a rate that is not.
Jaffa, the beaches and exclusive services
What our travel advisors arrange most often in Tel Aviv are tables at the restaurants along the port and in Neve Tzedek, which fill weeks ahead, guided walks through the Bauhaus quarter – the White City – and days out of the city: Jerusalem is around an hour by car, Caesarea and the coast north of Herzliya about the same.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comFor orientation: from HaYarkon Street the promenade runs south to Jaffa in about forty minutes on foot or fifteen by bike – the city is flat and has a dense bike-share network. The Carmel Market and Neve Tzedek are ten minutes inland. Ben Gurion Airport is around twenty-five minutes by car.
As a suitespot guest you travel with VIP status: we pass your preferences to the hotel before you arrive – in Tel Aviv above all whether the room faces the sea, which on HaYarkon Street is a separate and more expensive category in every property. On top of that, every property includes breakfast for two, an upgrade subject to availability and up to 100 USD hotel credit. And with eight of ten properties in a points programme, whichever status you hold very likely counts here.

Frequently asked questions about luxury hotels in Tel Aviv
How much does a hotel in Tel Aviv cost?
Entry rates for our 10 luxury hotels in Tel Aviv start at around 230 € per night (the Dan Tel Aviv on HaYarkon Street) and reach about 660 € per night at The Vista at Hilton and The David Kempinski. The median entry rate is around 430 € per night – a level few destinations we cover reach.
That figure needs context. It does not mean Tel Aviv has a high ceiling: nothing here reaches the 1.500 € of the Paris palaces. What Tel Aviv has is a very thin low end – only one address starts below 260 €, the cheapest is roughly at the median of Prague or Copenhagen, and six of the ten properties begin above 400 €. At this level the suitespot benefits carry real weight: with suitespot you always book at direct rates, and the benefits worth more than 500 € come on top.
Where should I stay in Tel Aviv?
The city divides cleanly into three. HaYarkon Street, the seafront boulevard, holds four of our ten properties – The Vista at Hilton at 205A (from around 660 €), The David Kempinski at 51 (660 €), the Sheraton Grand at 115 (450 €) and the Dan Tel Aviv at 99 (230 €). Same sea, same promenade.
Jaffa, the old port city to the south, is the other character entirely: The Jaffa (410 €), The Setai (360 €) and The Drisco (310 €), the city's only Relais & Châteaux property. In the centre, among the Bauhaus streets, sit the David InterContinental (520 €) and The Carlton (260 €).
One address is outside the city: The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya, around ten kilometres north (480 €).
Which hotels in Tel Aviv are on the beach?
Four of our ten properties stand on HaYarkon Street, the boulevard running along the Mediterranean: The Vista at Hilton Tel Aviv at number 205A beside Independence Park (from around 660 €), The David Kempinski at 51 (660 €), the Sheraton Grand Tel Aviv at 115 (450 €) and the Dan Tel Aviv at 99 (230 €).
The important detail is that on HaYarkon, which way the room faces decides more than the address does. All four look out over the same sea, and in each of them a sea-facing room is a separate and more expensive category than one facing the city. The Vista at Hilton makes it explicit, naming its categories Vista, Grand Vista and Corner Vista.
In Jaffa, The Setai and The Jaffa are close to the water but in the old port rather than on the beach. Register your preference before booking – our travel advisors will lodge it with the property.
Do I earn points and can I use my status with suitespot?
Yes. suitespot rates are full direct rates: you earn the usual points and status nights in the relevant hotel programme. Tel Aviv is remarkable for its coverage – nine of our ten properties belong to a programme, and the spread is unusually wide for a city this size.
Marriott Bonvoy (The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya, Sheraton Grand) and iPrefer (The Carlton, The Jaffa) lead with two each, followed by Relais & Châteaux (The Drisco), the Leaders Club (The Setai), IHG Rewards (David InterContinental), Hilton Honors (The Vista at Hilton) and GHA Discovery (The David Kempinski) with one each.
Only the Dan Tel Aviv takes part in no programme. Whichever status you hold, it very likely counts here. Your status benefits apply everywhere; the suitespot benefits come in addition.
Which hotels in Tel Aviv have the best suites?
For a city with ten properties, the suite offering is unusually deep – almost every house lists four or more categories.
The widest range is at The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya, with eight: Corner, Executive, Duplex, Presidential, Family Executive, Family, Carlton and Studio (from around 480 €). The David Kempinski follows with six, up to Royal and Presidential (660 €), and The Setai in Jaffa with five, including a Jaffa suite (360 €).
The Jaffa names its categories after the building itself – Deluxe Historic, Executive Historic Wing, David Presidential and Royal (410 €) – and The Drisco, the city's only Relais & Châteaux property, lists Luxury, Norton and Arches (310 €).
One pattern is worth noticing: three separate properties name a suite after Jaffa – The Setai, the David InterContinental and the Sheraton Grand. The old port city is the reference point of the whole city.
Should I stay in Tel Aviv or Jaffa?
They are two halves of the same city, about forty minutes apart on foot along the promenade or fifteen by bike – so this is a question of character rather than convenience.
Tel Aviv proper means the seafront and the Bauhaus streets behind it: the four properties on HaYarkon Street (from 230 € to 660 €), plus the David InterContinental (520 €) and The Carlton (260 €) in the centre. This is the modern, beach-facing city.
Jaffa is the old port city to the south – stone lanes, a working harbour, and three properties with a very different feel: The Setai (360 €), The Jaffa with its Historic room categories (410 €) and The Drisco, the city's only Relais & Châteaux (310 €).
If it is your first visit and the beach matters, stay on HaYarkon. If you have been before, Jaffa is the more interesting stay.
Which Tel Aviv hotels are suitable for families?
Three of our ten properties list dedicated family categories.
The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya is the most accommodating, with both a Family and a Family Executive category among its eight suite types, plus a marina setting outside the city (from around 480 €). The Setai in Jaffa follows with Deluxe Family and Executive Family (360 €), and the Dan Tel Aviv on HaYarkon Street has a Family category at 230 € – the most affordable of the three and the only one on the seafront.
A practical point: Tel Aviv is flat, walkable and has a promenade running the length of the beach, which makes it straightforward with children. Herzliya, by contrast, means a drive whenever you want to be in the city – worth weighing before you book.
Are there luxury hotels in Israel outside Tel Aviv?
In our portfolio, one: The Ritz-Carlton Herzliya on HaShunit Street, around ten kilometres north of Tel Aviv (from around 480 €). It sits by the marina, has the widest suite range of any property we list in the country – eight categories – and is a separate town rather than a Tel Aviv neighbourhood.
Everything else in our Israeli selection is in Tel Aviv and Jaffa. If you are looking specifically for a property in Jerusalem, on the Dead Sea or in Eilat, we cannot currently offer one from this selection.
That said, Tel Aviv works well as a base: Jerusalem is around an hour by car, Caesarea and the northern coast about the same. Our travel advisors will put the days together and arrange a driver if you would rather not drive yourself.
