Gymnasia Isrotel, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Very happy this boutique hotel is now part of the Marriott Bonvoy system. Could not ask for a better location 10 min in every direction from evetything you could need in Tel Aviv, the bustling Carmel Market, the busy Nahalat Binyamin with tons of bars and restaurants, artsy Florentin and of course the beachfront. As a Titanium member was welcomed with a nice box of local chocolates and a voucher for 2 glasses of wine at the rooftop pool bar. The hotel has partnered with local cafés to offer guests breakfast which is very nice to keep your mornings varied. Being an urban hoteln the rooms are on the smaller side however, very well appointed, very clean and smartly designed. Highly reccomend.

While I recognize this is a relatively new hotel, I was not giving to much credit to some of the past "less positive" reviews and excited to experience this property for myself. I stay at many Marriott (and other brands) properties around the world and tend to gravitate to new, lifestyle and unique hotels. This one fit the bill. Superb location in the heart of Tel Aviv and walking distance to main attractions as well as the beach. I arrived very late at night and discovered that I was upgraded to their highest category room... although given the room type configuration I believe all rooms are relatively the same with the upgrade in a balcony as well as street view (which wasn't too noisy). The rooms are slightly smaller but extremely comfortable and modernly designed very well. The beds were very comfortable which is always important. There is a well known, high-end restaurant attached to the hotel which is convenient but also that is where breakfast is served. With my Bonvoy status I received complimentary breakfast which was delicious each morning. Definitely try to enjoy the breakfast (or any other meal) at Shila Restaurant. The hotel has a decent yet small gym which I didn't use since I found a much larger one almost across the street at very affordable guest prices (it's called Icon) in the event that you require more equipment and in close proximity. The rooftop pool and lounge area is also a nice added amenity to an urban hotel like this one but the only issue is that it's a bit small in that over the weekend all the lounge chairs were taken (and reserved early) by guests so there was no place to sit or laydown to sunbath. None the less a nice and enjoyable pool to break the heat. The associates are all very friendly and lastly the scents they use around the hotel public spaces and in the bathroom amenities are delightful. Would certainly return to this property and recommend you give it a try as well
