Market House Hotel

Tel Aviv


There aren't many opportunities in life to stay in a building incorporating remnants of an 8th-century Byzantine chapel, but that's what's on offer at this hotel in the middle of the flea market. Rooms are stylish, soundproofed and equipped with kettle and fridge; the standards are a bit cramped, so opt for a superior or penthouse if possible.

Breakfast is enjoyed in the downstairs foyer and there's a complimentary aperitivo session in the upstairs lounge in the early evening.
