Poli House

Poli House is a luxury design hotel at 1 Nahalat Binyamin Street in the Lev HaIr area of Tel Aviv, Israel, at the edge of the pedestrian lane that hosts the Nahalat Binyamin crafts fair. The Carmel Market, Allenby Street and the Rothschild Boulevard cafes are all within a short walk, and the beach is roughly a fifteen to twenty minute walk or a brief taxi ride away. The building dates from the 1930s and was restored by the architect Nitza Szmuk, known for conservation work on Tel Aviv's early modern buildings. The conversion keeps the character of the original structure while adding contemporary design, which gives the hotel a distinctive, artistic identity within the White City district. Accommodation is offered in Deluxe Rooms and Suites, with rates generally from about 1,000 to 2,000 ILS per night depending on season. Listed amenities include free wifi, air conditioning, a restaurant and a rooftop bar. The rooftop is the signature feature, offering views over the central city skyline and a popular spot for drinks at sunset, while the restaurant serves guests and visitors from outside. There is no listed pool or spa, so the experience centres on location, design and the social scene rather than resort facilities. Service is geared toward leisure travellers, couples and design-minded visitors who want to be immersed in the city's core. The setting means noise from the street and the rooftop can be noticeable at busy times, so light sleepers may wish to request a quieter room. Tuesdays and Fridays, when the crafts fair runs, are the liveliest days on the street outside, and Friday afternoons bring a pre-Shabbat bustle. Booking ahead is wise for spring, autumn and holidays. Visitors from Ben Gurion Airport can expect a taxi ride of about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic.
