Brown TLV

Tel Aviv


Go back in time to the 1970s with this retro 'urban hotel'. It may not be in the best part of town, but scenesters love the rooftop bar with its sundeck and hot tub, can't wait for Tuesday's art event in the downstairs cocktail lounge and adore the weekend yoga sessions. Rooms are compact but stylish; some have hot tubs.

Other enticements include free bike hire, on-site parking and vouchers for a complimentary breakfast in a range of chic Neve Tzedek cafes. A great hotel for business travellers and those aspiring to be James Bond.
