Two restored 1920s buildings linked by an idyllic citrus garden house this stylish boutique hotel. The main structure is designed in the local eclectic style with Renaissance- and Oriental-inspired furnishings and has 30 guest accommodations, many of which tend to be on the small side. An adjacent Bauhaus-style building houses 20 suites, including two rooftop units that feature spacious living rooms and private terraces. The ground floor of the main building is a constant whirl of activity, thanks to the popularity of both Alena, an indoor-outdoor restaurant serving Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, and the atmospheric Library Bar, which hosts monthly cultural events. The hotel also encompasses Dinings, a casual Japanese restaurant offering izakaya-style tapas; a tiny gym on the third floor; a 60-foot horizon swimming pool flanked by a sundeck with rows of white loungers (closed December to March); and a wellness area for spa treatments.

The striking Bauhaus architecture; stylish interior design; the delicious Mediterranean food in the Alena restaurant; the rooftop pool; the tranquil patios and gardens.
Rooms in the main building tend to be small; the gymnasium is tiny; some members of the staff can be arrogant and unhelpful on occasions.
The Norman offers an art concierge service for those who want to become acquainted with Tel Aviv’s vibrant cultural scene on private tours to studios and galleries. Parts of the hotel’s own contemporary-art collection are also for sale.
Lowest Rate: Classic Room, $600; Editor's Choice: The Loft, $950.
