Crowne Plaza Tel Aviv Beach by IHG

If you've never stayed in Israeli hotel, standards are lower than the U.S. and Europe, so adjust your expectations. This hotel was cleaner than many others I've stayed in in Israel, but like I said, it's all relative. Having said that, the location can't be beat for the price. (NOTE: If you want luxury, stay at the Sheraton but it a 2 minute walk down the beach from the CP (so basically same location) and significantly more expensive that the CP.) The pool at CP was decent and not crowded when I went but I wish it had been open later than 5:00. The hotel is right on the beach so you won't be spending much time in the room. They give you towels and you can rent a chair anywhere on the beach for 22 shekels. There are a TON of good restaurants withing walking distance. There is a coffee place (Aroma) right outside the door and a Golda ice cream shop a few meters away. I easily got there on public transportation. I will definitely stay there again. It's the perfect location for a weekend getaway. (Because of all the great restaurants nearby, I did not purchase breakfast at the hotel so I can't comment on that.)

My only criticism is the gym needs an update, but other than that the breakfasts were great, the location is ideal, and the property is top of the line.

The room was clean, beds were comfortable, and the view was amazing! We were on a mid level floor (9th floor). Mid level and high level rooms have all been remodeled and are really nice!!! Staff was amazing! Special thanks to Ofir for helping us to feel welcome, for making check-in and check-out extra smooth, and for helping out when I lost a dental retainer! Fabian and others were also great!

great view, great location.
