Kaufmann St 12, Tel Aviv-Yafo, 61501, Israel Get directions
"You can’t go wrong with any of the Intercontinental David’s rooms, all 555 of which look out onto the Mediterranean, but those seeking the ultimate view should at least consider the Jaffa Suite for its privileged perspective on Old Jaffa, or the Tel Aviv Suite, where the panorama includes Jaffa, Tel Aviv, and the sea. On the other hand, this hotel is so centrally located that you could simply walk to anything you want to see, from the evocative old city of Jaffa with its minarets, stone walls, and bobbing boats, to the Neve Tzedek district full of bohemian cafes and boutiques. Although you’ll be tempted to fill up on produce, halva, and pastries at the nearby Shuk HaCarmel market, save room for at least one dinner at the Intercontinental David—especially the traditional Shabbat meal that takes place in the third-floor Jaffa Court on Friday nights."

"Chef Yoram Nitzan’s famed Mul Yam restaurant was forced to close in 2015 due to a fire. Now the chef is back with Nomi, located in the David Intercontinental hotel right across from Tel Aviv’s beachside promenade. His is a fine dining take on kosher Mediterranean cuisine, emphasizing local ingredients and ultra-creative takes on modern Israeli dishes like lamb siniya with grilled okra and warm tahini sauce, dover sole with turnip lemongrass broth and Granny Smith apples, and steak and eggs with arugula foam and smoked goose crumble." - Keren Brown
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel rooms and facilities - since there are some mixed reviews in TripAdvisor. Room in 22nd floor had wonderful views. Parking facilities are convenient and fairly priced for Israel. Restaurant offering at night are fairly limited though - most guests obviously opt to eat elsewhere and closes early. If you like the location close to Yaffa and Nevé Tsedek this is a great choice. It’s expensive but in line with TLV prices.

Intercontinental David Hotel is the place to stay in Tel Aviv. Here you feel welcome and comfortable. The rooms are spacious, very clean and beautifully furnished. The view from there over the ocean is simply amazing! The location of the hotel is perfect right at Tel Aviv Beach and close to Jaffa Old Town.
But the best is the staff: everyone working at Intercontinental David Hotel is very friendly and caring. This is what makes the hotel outstanding! Especially Hanna Zaidman working at the front desk made my stay very special. Thank you very much for your great support and see you again soon!

The staff that helped me the most were absolutely amazing! Martina, Oleg, Victoria, Rachel, Yalanna, Sergey, and Zehavit AKA Red treated me like I was family! Best staff at a hotel that I have ever experienced. They went over and beyond my expectations helping me feel like I was at home.
The breakfast was fantastic! Great flavors of food and an excellent exposure to the culture foods. Tones of variety. Coffee was better than I. Ould have bought anywhere in town, always fresh and fast to my table!
The views from the hotel were breathtaking, watching the sun set over the sea was a great end to my day! Centrally located to many great restaurants and beach fronts.
The executive lounge was a great way to relax with my friends and take in the sights of the city.
I do not remember her name but the lady that cleaned my room did a fantastic job. Made sure I have the options I wanted and extra items I requested.

Amazing hotel and service! During the war nonetheless which was a very difficult time for everyone. Zehavit went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable and taken care of. She sat with us many times just to ease our worries. Kevin from food and beverage was also amazing. He came and checked up on us regularly with a smile. We will definitely be back!

After our previous stay a few weeks ago, I filled out a customer satisfaction survey requested by the hotel about our experiences. I had encountered a few problems. My ID number on the invoice was incorrect even though they had photocopied the document. Some of the news channels on the TV did not work. Additionally, the unexpected need to press a yellow button on the remote control without prior instruction for the TV to function was a nuisance. I received a long courteous response from the guest relations manager with apologies. I had the written a subsequent email to both the guest relations manager and the hotel which was received by them but totally ignored. For such a prestigious hotel, I would have expected better service even if they disagreed with what I had written.||On our recent stay a few days ago, we were welcomed by the front desk manager who assured me that that the room had been checked to ensure that we would not encounter the same problems again. However, we had a different more serious problem. We put some drinks in the fridge; however when we returned from a concert late at night , we were surprised that they were not cold. The fridge was not working. Surely, the rooms supervisor should check that all appliances in rooms are in good working order before offering them to a guest.||The breakfast and staff service in the Jaffa Court are always of a very high standard. However, for the first time the different offerings were not labelled as they had always been on all previous occasions.||Some months ago I had written a highly complimentary report about this hotel. Regrettably matters have changed. The overall management is not checking on the supervisors to ensure that the hotel's previously high standards are maintained. While the reader of this review might think that I am fussing about a load of small matters, which might be accurate, the overall picture of a lack of attention to detail in one of the most expensive hotels in Tel Aviv by management cannot be overlooked. A customer expects impeccable management which they are currently not able to offer. It is deeply regrettable.
