Alma Hotel

Tel Aviv


The lovely light-green 1920s building, theatrical decor and on-site restaurant and tapas bar are the main draws at this boutique choice just off Rothschild Blvd, but the rooftop bar and pretty rear courtyard garden provide additional enticement. Both room types offer plenty of space, huge beds, an espresso machine and a lovely bathroom with luxe Sabon toiletries.

The original building was designed by architect Dov Tchendovski in 1925 and fully restored in 2012.
