Hotel Montefiore, Tel Aviv

36 Montefiore St., Tel Aviv, 65201, Israel (show on map)

Hotel Montefiore is a true pioneer, famously known as Tel Aviv’s first boutique hotel. Housed in a beautifully preserved 1924 building on Montefiore Street, the property was originally designed by architect Moshe Lovrinzki. It stands as a stunning example of the city’s early “Eclectic” style—a mix of architectural influences that predates the famous Bauhaus movement that later defined much of the local skyline.

With only 12 guest rooms, the hotel offers an incredibly intimate experience. The interiors are a masterclass in colonial-inspired sophistication, featuring dark wood floors, pressed-tin ceilings, and plush leather furnishings. A signature, thoughtful detail is the floor-to-ceiling library found in every room, stocked with an eclectic mix of literature, travel books, and novels that invite guests to settle in and unwind.

The hotel is arguably just as famous for its lobby restaurant, which is a local hotspot for French-Vietnamese fusion cuisine. It is a place to see and be seen, where the clinking of glasses and jazz music create a lively, urban atmosphere that feels worlds away from the sunny, casual beach culture just a few blocks over.

Its location in the heart of the city is perfect for explorers. You are steps from the vibrant Rothschild Boulevard, where you can admire historic architecture or grab a coffee at one of the many cafes. Cultural landmarks like the Independence Hall Museum and the bustling Carmel Market are also within easy walking distance, making it an ideal base for soaking up the city’s energy.

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“A truly classy choice, the Montefiore occupies a heritage-listed 1920s villa in a tree-lined street off Allenby St. The 12 elegant rooms have high ceilings, wooden floors, an armchair, a generously endowed bookshelf, double-glazed windows and spacious bathrooms.”

Fodors review:

“This stunning boutique hotel shows off what restoration can bring to the historic buildings of Tel Aviv. The two-story building stands out because of its lovely salmon-hued exterior. Its light-colored walls, hardwood floors, and wrought-iron banisters evoke times gone by.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Tel Aviv.

Frommers review:

“The best-known boutique hotel in Tel Aviv is also, in our view, the best. There’s no lobby—the legendary eponymous Franco-Vietnamese restaurant that occupies the ground floor is the lobby—but upstairs there are 12 luxuriously appointed guest rooms that feature high ceilings, dark hardwood floors, tall windows, and oodles of ambience.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Tel Aviv.

Loved it

Our experience at Hotel Montefiore in Tel Aviv was nothing short of exceptional, leaving us thoroughly impressed from the moment we arrived. Stepping into our room, we were greeted with a spacious and impeccably clean sanctuary, exquisitely designed with attention to detail and adorned with tasteful decor. Despite its central location, the room provided a peaceful oasis, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The staff at Hotel Montefiore exceeded our expectations with their warm hospitality and unwavering commitment to ensuring our comfort. From check-in to check-out, they went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, displaying a genuine eagerness to please and patience that was truly commendable. The hotel’s bar proved to be a delightful highlight of our stay, boasting an impressive array of cocktails crafted with precision and flair. My gimlet, in particular, was a testament to the bartender’s expertise, delivering a refreshing burst of flavor that was nothing short of perfection. One of the most convenient features of Hotel Montefiore is its provision of complimentary valet parking—a true lifesaver in bustling Tel Aviv, allowing us to explore the city with ease. Situated within close proximity to Rothschild Boulevard, Nahalat Binyamin, and the vibrant Shook Hacarmel market, the hotel offers easy access to some of the city’s most iconic attractions, all within a short walking distance. To start our second day off right, we indulged in the generous and delectable breakfast served in the hotel’s restaurant—a culinary experience that left us thoroughly satisfied and energized for the day ahead. In essence, Hotel Montefiore embodies the epitome of luxury and convenience, making it the perfect choice for travelers seeking a memorable stay in the heart of Tel Aviv.

Very nice hotel in great location. Breakfast offered late.

Great location. Very nice restaurant. Well equipped room.

Breakfast offered only starting 9am. As I needed to check out early no alternative was offered. Not at all convenient for business people.

The Montefiore has been our home for many years, however this time we were disappointed. home,

We love the Montifiore, it’s been our home from home for several years.

It feels like it needs a makeover, the carpets need a good clean, the guest toilets were filthy, a female bar tender was rude and unpleasant. It spoilt our trip.

Chic boutique hotel with fun bar and great restaurant

The chic vibe of the hotel lobby was really cool and unique. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was very good.

Room was on the smaller side, but not unexpected.
