An intimate 12-room boutique hotel in a restored Bauhaus building on Montefiore Street. Each room is uniquely designed, the acclaimed restaurant serves creative cuisine, and the personalized service creates a home-away-from-home atmosphere.
Hotel Montefiore occupies a restored Bauhaus-era building at 36 Montefiore Street in central Tel Aviv, one of the city's celebrated White City neighbourhoods. The boutique property offers just 12 individually designed rooms, keeping the atmosphere intimate and residential. The building's 1930s International Style architecture — clean lines, flat roofline, and strip windows — has been preserved and enhanced with designer furnishings and carefully selected artwork that nods to Tel Aviv's cosmopolitan history.
Rooms range from compact standard doubles to larger deluxe categories, each with a distinct character. Expect fine bed linens, rainfall showers, and bespoke bathroom products. The hotel does not have a conventional reception desk; instead, a small team provides personalised attention, handling restaurant reservations, car hire, and city-touring arrangements with local expertise.
The ground-floor Restaurant Montefiore is the property's centrepiece. The kitchen produces creative Mediterranean fare with strong Israeli influences — fresh seasonal produce from the Carmel Market, house-cured meats, and a cellar of boutique Israeli wines. Breakfast, included in most rates, features pastries, cheese boards, and made-to-order eggs served in the leafy courtyard garden.
The hotel does not have a spa or pool. Its value proposition rests on location, character, and personalised service. Dizengoff Square is a ten-minute walk north; the Tel Aviv Museum of Art is nearby, as is the beachfront along Gordon Beach, reachable on foot in under twenty minutes. The neighbourhood is well-served by bus lines on Ibn Gabirol Street and Allenby Street, and the hotel concierge can arrange bicycle rentals for exploring the city's extensive cycling network.
Rates run between approximately 750 and 1,700 ILS per night depending on season. High season in Israel falls from March through May and September through November. The intimate scale means rooms book quickly during holidays such as Rosh Hashanah and Passover; early reservations are strongly advised.
