Where to Stay in Tel Aviv and the Israeli Coastline
There’s no better place to soak in the energy of Israel than along its sun-drenched coastline. Tel Aviv, with its vibrant culture, world-class food scene, and buzzing nightlife, offers a perfect blend of urban excitement and laid-back beach vibes. Just minutes away, you’ll find historic Jaffa, upscale Herzliya, family-friendly Netanya, and other coastal gems — each with its own unique character and atmosphere.
Below is a curated list of hotels in Tel Aviv and along the Israeli coastline, personally recommended by Omri. These are places we know well — where the location is great, the hospitality is genuine, and the experience is unforgettable.
Herods Tel Aviv
Omri’s Recommendation:
Herods Tel Aviv is one of my personal favorites when it comes to beachfront luxury in the city. Located right on the promenade, it offers a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. I especially love the nostalgic design inspired by Tel Aviv’s White City architecture — it gives the hotel a timeless charm. Whether you’re relaxing by the outdoor pool, enjoying a massage at the spa, or sipping a drink at the lobby bar while watching the sunset over the Mediterranean, this hotel delivers an experience that feels both indulgent and uniquely Tel Avivian. If you’re looking for a high-end stay with a strong local vibe, this is a fantastic choice.

NYX Tel Aviv
Omri’s Recommendation:
If you’re looking for something young, bold, and full of personality, NYX Tel Aviv is a great choice. I recommend it especially to travelers who enjoy design-forward spaces with an edge. The atmosphere is modern and artistic, with touches of Tel Aviv’s vibrant street culture. Between the rooftop terrace, the arcade, and the stylish lounge, there’s always a cool place to hang out. It’s also one of the few hotels in the city that really speaks to a younger, creative crowd while still offering excellent comfort and service.

Port Tower Tel Aviv
Omri’s Recommendation:
Port Tower Tel Aviv is one of those hotels I often recommend to travelers looking for a clean, modern, and well-located stay without going overboard on luxury. The design is sleek and minimal, with great views of the sea and city from many of the rooms. I really like how it strikes a balance — it’s quiet enough for business travelers, but close enough to the port and beach scene for anyone who wants to enjoy Tel Aviv’s energy. It’s stylish, comfortable, and feels like a smart, boutique choice.

It’s perfect for solo travelers, backpackers, or really anyone who wants to experience Tel Aviv’s creative and cultural scene up close.

The location is amazing — you’re steps from the beach, but also close to the heart of the city. The rooms are elegant, the service is spot-on, and the rooftop pool is one of my favorite spots for a quiet escape with a view. Whether you’re in town for business or a romantic getaway, this hotel delivers the full upscale experience without being too over the top.
