In recent years, tens of boutique hotels have opened in Tel Aviv taking many of the traditional and often protected buildings, particularly in the White City and Neve Tzedek areas, and creating intimate, and generally high quality accommodation. The boutique hotels in Tel Aviv we include in this list vary in size and price, but are have all one common feature which is that they offer something a bit different, and do it well, with guests reporting positive experiences.

Diaghilev Live Art Hotel

Opened in 2010, the Diaghilev Live Art Hotel is in the heart of Tel Aviv’s White City in a converted Bauhaus building with many of the rooms overlooking the beautiful surrounding streets. The hotel’s theme is, as the name suggests, art: Diaghilev was a famous figure in the Russian art world, and art adorns the hotels walls and public areas. Competitively priced, the Diaghilev has become well known for its high quality service as well as its design, and if you are looking for a boutique hotel in Tel Aviv without spending big-bucks, this is the one for you.

Hotel Montefiore

Steps from Rothschild Boulevard, the main street through Tel Aviv’s White City, Hotel Montefiore is a building dating from the 1920′s which has been meticulously renovated to provide an intimate boutique hotel with twelve guest rooms. Its luxurious interior, combined with the well received Viennese restaurant which shares its name have made it the boutique hotel other boutiques in Tel Aviv aspire to beat, particularly at the top end of the market and whilst it might not be cheap to stay here, guests all come away with an experience they will be unlikely to forget.

Brown TLV Urban Hotel

On the fringes of the trendy White City and quaint Neve Tzedek neighborhoods, the  Brown TLV Urban Hotel only opened recently but has already been recommended by a whole host of publications: Wallpaper, Conde Nast Traveller, Vogue, Travel & Leisure, and the New York Times, and built up a loyal following of customers who appreciate its unique style, good value offering, and particular suitability for business travelers. – if that sounds like you, then Brown TLV is the Tel Aviv boutique hotel for you!

Artplus Hotel

Part of the Atlas Hotel Chain who have six other boutique hotels in Tel Aviv as well as this one, the Artplus is focused around Israeli art, with the public areas featuring the works of famous Israeli artists and local artists commissioned to set the scene for each floor via giant murals. The Artplus’ contemporary finish combined with high quality service and hospitality (in its lounge, dedicated to art of course, with magazines, journals, and books, free refreshments are served every evening) have made it incredibly popular with visitors, and along with its sister hotels, one of the best boutique hotels in Tel Aviv. Its location on Ben Yehuda street is further north and closer to the beach than the other hotels featured here so far, so if the beach is your priority, make it one serious consideration.

Vital Hotel

A boutique hotel targeting the business market, the Vital Hotel is located in the ‘Old North’ of Tel Aviv close to Kikar HaMedina (State Square) and while Tel Aviv is not a large city, its location does make it more convenient for business travelers who might need to access the nearby railway station or office districts in Ramat Gan or Herzliya. The hotel also has specific business facilities.
