Boutique hotel fans have a new reason to visit Tel Aviv: The city’s first boutique hotel is ready for guests. Part of MGallery Hotel Collection, Elkonin Tel Aviv can be found in the fashionable, art-centric Neve Tzedek neighborhood — an area that actually pre-dates the city itself.
The “new” hotel can be found within a historic structure dating to 1913, and offers 42 rooms and two suites reflecting a retreat-like ambience. Built for Malka and Menachem Elkonin with a blend of Eclecticism architecture and Art Deco style elements, the original structure quickly became a prominent gathering space, attracting luminaries from literature, art and politics including Albert Einstein. Political figures and royalty were also drawn to its door, and included King Abdullah of Jordan and Israel’s first prime minister David Ben-Gurion.
In 2004, the building became the property of Dominique Romano, who refurbished the structure in an avant-garde French style while carefully preserving its original architectural elements. Elegant, European-styled interiors have been designed by Adriana Schor of ICONIQUE studio.
Features range from herringbone floors and rattan accents to custom Italian terrazzo and original ceramic tiles. Bathrooms are stocked with amenities from Clarins.
The on-site spa also boasts a city first: Tel Aviv’s first spa by Clarins. Five serene treatment rooms are decorated in tones of beige and white, while other spaces include a relaxation lounge and Turkish-style hammam. Soothing and restorative treatments include the Elkonin Signature Treatment.
Among other guest spaces are a rooftop pool and bar providing wide views of the city and the sea, a modern fitness center, meeting and event space, and an outdoor terrace presided over by a one-of-a-kind Love Wall by artist James Goldcrown. For dining, guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea at L’Epoque at Elkonin by Robuchon, the first Robuchon International restaurant in Israel.

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.

Nov 20, 2024A Fusion of History and Modernity Makes Bangkok a Perfect Meeting Spot
In this city of contrasts, glass skyscrapers stand behind century- old temples. Street food vendors sling steaming noodles along roadways while tucked-away restaurants serve multicourse, Michelin-level cuisine. Roadways jam with cars as jewel-toned tuk tuks whizz through the gridlock. Long considered a tourist mecca, Bangkok also makes for a dynamic, budding location for corporate travelers.

Best known to tourists for the boisterous chaos of Palermo, the views of Mount Etna from idyllic Taormina, and for that capricious volcano itself, Sicily has far more to draw travelers. In Sicily’s southeast corner, one region encapsulates the Sicilian spirit that has seen it through conquest and natural disasters, a region less well-known to tourists but one of the island’s most beautiful and fascinating.
