History
The David Kempinski Tel Aviv opened on 12 April 2022 as Kempinski’s first hotel in Israel and the brand’s 80th global opening. It occupies a 34-storey beachfront tower designed by Feigin Architects, with interiors by London-based Ara Design. Kempinski says the hotel stands on the site of Tel Aviv’s first seafront hotel and is intended as a tribute to the city’s early coastal history. The property is notable for its 250 rooms and suites, 56 suites, and signature penthouse experience with a private pool and panoramic Mediterranean views.
The setting
The hotel sits on Tel Aviv’s promenade, facing the Mediterranean between the port and Old Jaffa. Kempinski’s press material says the site marks the location of Tel Aviv’s first seafront hotel and a historic coastal landmark in the first modern Hebrew city.
