“Ancient history collides with modern luxuries at The Setai, the newest five-star addition to Tel Aviv’s hotel scene. ”

Hotel review

In this Crusader fortress–turned–hotel, ancient history lies around every corner. Thousand-year-old stone archways gracefully frame the ground floor’s communal areas while iron bars encase the basement-level windows – a throwback to The Setai’s use as a prison during the Ottoman era. Despite these brutal origins, the hotel has transformed itself into an elegant property that blends history with modern-day hospitality. The Ottoman-inspired decor uses luxurious materials – walnut, marble and stone – to create restful spaces, from the regal bedrooms to the cave-like bar. In the central courtyard, contemporary seating offers a relaxed spot to soak up the sunshine while the rooftop pool provides panoramic views down the Mediterranean coastline towards Tel Aviv. Don’t miss the basement spa, where a range of treatments – including a Turkish hammam – await.
