Shalom Hotel & Relax

Tel Aviv


Styled as a beach house – albeit one with 51 rooms – this spa hotel offers a free 15-minute massage to every guest at its rooftop treatment room. Rooms are attractive but small; opt for a superior one if possible. Common areas include a rooftop sundeck and a welcoming foyer lounge where a delicious breakfast is served.
