Luxury hotel in restored Ottoman-era buildings at Clock Tower Square, Jaffa, with restaurants and a sea-facing position.
The Setai Tel Aviv is a luxury hotel at 22 David Raziel Street in Jaffa, the ancient port district of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. It sits at Clock Tower Square, the historic gateway to old Jaffa, with the Mediterranean shoreline close by and the lanes of the Jaffa flea market a few minutes on foot. Central Tel Aviv, including the Neve Tzedek neighbourhood and the Carmel Market, is reachable by a short taxi ride or a longer walk along the seafront promenade. Nearby bus routes and the coastal promenade link the area with the rest of the city. The property occupies restored Ottoman-era buildings, so the atmosphere blends old limestone architecture with contemporary luxury interiors. The setting makes it one of the most historically distinctive places to stay in the city, a contrast with the glass towers of the main beachfront hotel strip. Accommodation is offered as Deluxe Rooms and Suites, and rates typically run from about 1,400 to 3,000 ILS per night depending on season and room category. Amenities listed for the property include free wifi, air conditioning, a restaurant, a bar, a spa and a fitness centre. Dining is a central part of the stay, with on-site restaurants and a bar serving guests and outside visitors, and a sea-facing position that suits evening drinks and long dinners. The spa and fitness facilities give guests a quiet retreat after days spent walking Jaffa's cobbled streets, the port and the nearby galleries. The service style is that of a high-end boutique-scale luxury property: attentive, discreet and oriented to couples, honeymooners and travellers who want a heritage setting rather than a resort. It is less suited to travellers who want to be in the middle of the Dizengoff and Rothschild nightlife zone, though taxis make the trip quick. Booking well ahead is advisable around Jewish holidays, the spring and autumn shoulder seasons and summer weekends, when Tel Aviv hotels fill quickly. Guests arriving from Ben Gurion Airport can expect a taxi or ride-hail transfer of roughly 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.
