Luxury Gay Tel Aviv-Yafo

Isrotel's Exclusive-collection flagship runs 230 sea-facing rooms a few steps from the Pride parade's beachfront route — and the chain openly markets it to Pride travellers with its own parade guide. Carmel Forest Spa with 70+ treatments, a Turkish hammam, an April-November outdoor pool and a top-floor lounge with Mediterranean panoramas.

A 19th-century French hospital and convent turned 120-room landmark by minimalist architect John Pawson. The lobby exposes a 13th-century Crusader bastion wall; the deconsecrated chapel is now the hotel bar. Courtyard pool, a 400 m² L.RAPHAEL spa, and two kosher restaurants — Giardino and the Italian dairy spot Golda's — both refreshed in summer 2026.

Europe's oldest luxury chain chose Tel Aviv's beachfront for its flagship: 250 rooms and 56 suites across 34 floors of floor-to-ceiling Mediterranean views. Chef Mor Cohen runs the kosher culinary programme including the beach-level fish restaurant Sereia; the heated fifth-floor pool runs year-round. Hebrew press clocked the Royal Suite at roughly $8,000 a night.

Eleven suites in a 1930s Bauhaus landmark that took a decade to restore: interiors by Studio Liaigre and a garden by Piet Oudolf — the planting mind behind New York's High Line. A garden-rimmed rooftop pool crowns the four floors; a chef's table and brasserie feed them. Hebrew and English press both call it the boulevard's crème de la crème.
