From
687.239 €
“Rooftop pool with panoramic view over Tel-Aviv, open year-round and heated in winter.”
The Norman Tel Aviv occupies two restored Bauhaus villas on Nachmani Street, in the heart of the UNESCO-listed district. We slept in rooms where solid oak parquet floors sit alongside Apparatus Studio light fixtures and Carrara marble bathrooms. The rooftop pool offers a clear view over the city's white rooftops, rare at this scale in the historic centre. The spa offers signature treatments inspired by the Dead Sea, with private cabins and hammam. The Library restaurant serves contemporary Mediterranean cuisine under a glass roof, from 687 € per night. The service remains discreet, never obsequious, like the local clientele who frequent the bar. An address that understands Tel-Aviv without overdoing it ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend The Norman to travellers seeking contemporary Israeli design without sacrificing palace comfort. It is an address for couples in their thirties and forties, cultural weekends between museums and beaches, discreet business dinners in the historic district. Families find their place thanks to connecting rooms, yet the clientele remains predominantly adult, local in the evening at the bar.
The building
Architecture and interiors
Two bourgeois houses built in 1925 in the international Bauhaus style, white facades with clean lines and continuous balconies. Interiors redesigned by architect Yoav Messer: ceiling heights of 3.20 m, restored original mouldings, terrazzo and solid oak floors. Custom furniture blending Israeli publishers (Oded Halahmy) and European ones (Apparatus, Gubi). Intimate scale of 50 rooms spread over five floors, restored period lift.
At the table

Breakfast served until noon with house pastries, shakshuka and local cheeses. The Dinings Bar offers signature cocktails and fusion tapas in the evening, local clientele mixed with residents. 24/7 room service with a reduced yet refined menu, delivered in 25 minutes flat.
