Carlton Hotel, Tel Aviv

This is a traditional full service hotel, very user friendly for families, and in our experience benefiting from super helpful and friendly staff. The property has a roof top pool, a newly decorated deck featuring a fabulous Jacuzzi, and two of Tel Aviv’s best kosher chef restaurants – Lumina and Blue Sky – both by Meir Adoni.  Best of all is the Carlton’s wonderful outdoor buffet breakfast at ‘Carlton on the Beach’.  As you sit down for breakfast, there is no mistaking that relaxed ‘I am on vacation feel!’ as the Mediterranean blue stretches out before you, and you indulge in a varied, rich and satisfying first meal of the day. The hotel also offers a spa and gym, as well as conference facilities.  Rooms offer a choice between city, partial sea, and full sea view, and we certainly recommend the sea view, budget allowing.
