Hotel Montefiore is an impeccable 12-room boutique hotel in the center of Tel Aviv. In its earlier days, the property was a former private residence with lots of architectural references from the 1920s. The award-winning hotel was lovingly restored in 2008 to welcome guests who appreciate luxury design, and personalized service. Guests have full use of the lounge and library for working, access to an honesty bar, and complimentary Bulgari bath products. The expense is spared, with custom slippers, beach kits, and bathrobes. Thanks to their concierge services, guests can request a personal trainer, in-room beauty treatments, and more. A stay at the hotel is residence-like, with the aptly sized rooms serving more like apartments.
