The Norman Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv, Israel
Lev HaIr
Vibe
A pair of restored 1920s townhouses flanking a fragrant citrus courtyard, blending Bauhaus heritage with mid-century glamour and original Israeli art.
“Restored White City townhouse”
Two restored 1920s townhouses featuring original ceramic tiles, brass flooring inlays, and an extensive Israeli art collection.
Preserved 1925 Eclectic and Modernist residences restored under UNESCO White City architectural conservation standards.
Bespoke concierge itineraries, fresh flowers, Frette linens, and sweet treats served at evening turndown across fifty rooms.
In Lev HaIr beside King Albert Square, steps from the Bauhaus architecture of Rothschild Boulevard.
“The 50 individually designed rooms at this boutique hotel in two historic townhouses within the White City … have a fragrant citrus garden between them.”
Rooms
Interiors feature hand-decorated ceramic tiles, brass floor inlays, and soft palettes, finished with Frette linens and deep-soaking bathtubs.
“Encompassing two restored historic buildings in the heart of Tel Aviv, The Norman is a lesson in restrained 1920s elegance.”
Wellness
The fourth-floor rooftop infinity pool overlooks the White City skyline, alongside dedicated treatment rooms for FaceClub facials and bespoke massage rituals.
“Rooms here are equally singular; no two are alike, though all feature Frette linens, beautiful bouquets, and homemade treats at turndown.”
Backstory
Named after pioneer filmmaker and early resort hotelier Norman Lourie, the hotel thoughtfully unites two distinct 1925 Modernist and Eclectic residences.
Eat & drink
Dine on Mediterranean dishes at ALENA, order sushi on the rooftop at Dinings, and sip cocktails in the 1940s-inspired Library Bar.
The neighborhood
Overlooking King Albert Square in central Lev HaIr, you are steps from the leafy cafés and preserved Bauhaus architecture along Rothschild Boulevard.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
