What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Don't be fooled by its big-box looks – comfortable rooms, intimate dining, and ocean views are all beyond ordinary.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Independence Park surrounds the grounds on three sides, and a footpath leads straight down to Hilton Beach.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, and bathrooms are lined in marble.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 25-meter outdoor saltwater pool stays open year-round, looking out over the marina and Mediterranean breakwater.
The spa
Therapists trained in Thailand perform warm sesame oil rituals and traditional bodywork across ten treatment rooms.
The gym
TechnoGym cardio and strength machines look out toward the sea, alongside workout benches and free weights.
At the table
Certified kosher dining includes breakfast spreads on the terrace, sushi at Onami, and Silk Road spices overlooking the water.
How it began
Architect Yaakov Rechter designed the raw-concrete tower in 1965, creating what was then Israel's largest modern hotel.
