Carlton Tel Aviv is a five-star hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel, specialized in business travel. It is located near Atarim Square, in the immediate vicinity of Tel Aviv Port and the beach.[1] It offers a view of the Mediterranean Sea.

History and architecture

The hotel was built in 1977. In 2001 thorough renovation works were carried out, which cost $15 million. In 2017 it was renovated again for another $12 million.[2]

The hotel is marked by an unusual shape: large floors relative to a narrow base. It is identified with brutalist architecture and was designed by Yaakov Rechter.[2] The concrete building has 15 floors.

The hotel may be rebuilt as part of a redevelopment plan of Atarim Square.[3]

The hotel has 268 hotel rooms and suites.[4] There is a conference room with facilities for the support of organized groups. The hotel has two swimming pools, of which one on the roof.[5] There is a synagogue on the second floor.

The hotel has three restaurants:

  • Blue Sky

The restaurants are led by chef Meir Adoni.[4]
