Frommer's Review
The massive Hilton is set far back from Ha-Yarkon Street in a small park overlooking a quiet, sheltered area of Tel Aviv's beachfront. Although built in the 1960s, public areas and guest rooms here were completely redone in 1998-99. A strong point is the hotel's superb state-of-the-art business center, the best in Israel and always buzzing (the Hilton's a focal point for business ties between Israel and Asia). But the hotel is also well attuned to vacationers, and offers a full range of recreational facilities. Better-category rooms are the among best in Tel Aviv, decorated with tasteful accessories and classic fruit-wood furniture; a variety of stylishly designed suites are offered (one has a Jacuzzi and a corner window with spectacular views of the sea). Lower-category rooms are also well designed. All rooms have balconies. Restaurant facilities (including a well-patronized kosher sushi bar!) are top quality, spacious, and varied. The location is a bit of a hike from the major streets of interest, but the sheltered Hilton beach is one of the nicest in town. The large saltwater swimming pool, refilled each day and heated in winter, is a real plus, and unique among Tel Aviv hotels. The staff here is very skilled, although for some visitors, perhaps a bit self-important.
