Why Look for Hotels in Tel Aviv on The Beach
Staying in a hotel right near the beach has several advantages -
- Easy access to warm sandy beaches. You can be in the water minutes after leaving your room.
- You're at the heart of things! Lots going on in that area of Tel Aviv with its gorgeous promenade.
- Central location - close to most points of interest. Read all about them and see the map in my post about 11 awesome things to do in Tel Aviv. Staying in any of these Tel Aviv hotels on the beach puts you about 10 minutes away from the bauhaus houses of the old White City of Tel Aviv too.
- Here for business? Stay close to the business district where many banks and law firms are.
- Going to the Pride Parade? Tel Aviv has the second largest Gay Pride parade in the world. And these hotels are right in the path of the parade!

This is really a great area to stay and experience Tel Aviv in all its glory.
