The hype
Reviewers universally adore the design, the scent, and the 'oasis' vibe in the city center.
The Norman Tel Aviv
$700-1200+/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want the ultimate 'White City' Bauhaus fantasy with a rooftop pool that feels like a private club.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Stunning 1920s Bauhaus architecture restored to perfection
- Rooftop infinity pool with panoramic Tel Aviv views
- World-class dining at Alena and Dinings (Japanese tapas)
Brzi pregled: It’s arguably the most stylish hotel in Tel Aviv, but the entry-level rooms are shoebox-tiny for the price.
Pregledano od @travelwithhilla: I stayed at The Norman and it completely blew me away. The rooftop pool is the perfect city escape, and my suite had the most incredible freestanding tub. It feels less like a hotel and more like a private luxury residence in the heart of Tel Aviv.

Pre nego što rezervirate
Korisno znati
- Israeli citizens must pay 17% VAT; tourists are exempt but must present their B2 visa slip (received at airport) at check-in.
- The 'Spa' is extremely intimate — literally just one treatment room, so book massages well in advance.
- Breakfast is à la carte, not a buffet, and is highly rated for quality (shakshuka is a favorite).
Šta pakovati
- B2 Visa slip from the airport (crucial to save 17% tax)
- European power adapter (Type H or C)
- Smart casual evening wear — the Library Bar and Dinings are chic spots
Genie za sobe
Najbolji izbor
- Corner Suite (Room 23) — features a stunning circular balcony and loads of light
- Garden Suite — offers more space (65m²) and a kitchenette, great for longer stays
Sobe koje treba izbegavati
- Classic Room — at 20m², it is claustrophobic for most couples
- Rooms near the elevator — reviewers cite higher foot-traffic noise

“I am celebrating a special occasion and would love a room in the 23 Nachmani building with a view of King Albert Square. Quiet away from the elevator is a priority.”
