Fodor's Expert Review Brown TLV

As hip as the city around it, this fun boutique hotel offers good-quality accommodation in an unbeatable location at a reasonable price (at least by Tel Aviv standards), making it a great find. There are several areas to lounge, including the book-lined "living room" lobby area, the roof deck with its outdoor showers and sleek white bathtub as well as private massage area, and the garden bar in the back that is one of trendiest bars in the city. Instead of the typical breakfast buffet, you get to choose from among three nearby local cafés. For excursions farther afield, the hotel offers free bike usage. The rooms are inviting, and although they're on the small side, they use the space well.
