Carlton Tel Aviv Hotel – Luxury on the Beach

We recommend the Carlton to families who want the beach without leaving the city, and to couples in their forties on a long weekend between museums and sea bathing. The family rooms and the secure pool attract an Israeli and European clientele with children, especially in summer. Business travellers appreciate the reliable Wi-Fi connection and the proximity to the financial district of Rothschild Boulevard.

The Carlton occupies a 1983 modernist building, renovated in stages until 2019. White concrete and tinted glass facade, typical of Israeli seaside architecture of the 80s. Beige marble hall, Murano crystal chandeliers, classic furniture without particular boldness. The rooms measure 28 to 45 m², light parquet, upholstered headboards, travertine bathrooms.

The Blue Sky Restaurant on the ground floor serves a buffet breakfast (Israeli salads, shakshuka, smoked salmon) and Mediterranean dinners in the evening, correct cuisine without a star. The Lobby Bar offers cocktails and tapas until midnight, frequented by a local clientele on Thursday evenings. The Rooftop Pool Bar serves pressed juices, salads and grills from 10h to 22h in summer, reduced menu in winter. 24h/24 room service, standard international menu.

The Carlton stands on the Herbert Samuel promenade, between Frishman and Gordon beaches, in the heart of the Tel Aviv seafront. Carmel market and the alleys of Neve Tzedek district are a twelve-minute walk south. Rothschild Boulevard and its office towers fifteen minutes north-east. No metro in Tel Aviv: taxis and Gett work well, Ben Gurion airport 35 minutes by car outside peak hours. The neighbourhood stays lively until late, café terraces and joggers on the promenade from 6h in the morning.
