Sat right on the water's edge overlooking Gordon Beach, the five-star Sheraton Tel Aviv Hotel and Towers is a tropical-inspired modern beachfront hotel. Renovated rooms sprawl out from large windows onto views of a lively promenade that then meets the Mediterranean. Just a few minutes' drive to Old Jaffa Port, the hotel is in prefect proximity to enjoy seaside life as well as the city. Service is friendly. If you are looking for the best of Tel Aviv's beach life then you have come to the right place.

The sparkly waters of the hotel's rooftop swimming pool are good enough to dive straight into and the bird's-eye view of the lapping ocean waves isn't half bad. The beach couldn't be closer and the lively promenade is a great place to spend an evening. For opulent pampering, head to the Cielo Spa, and enjoy a dry sauna or a Dead Sea mud wraps and salt peels. The fitness centre is available for final beach body preps.

314 rooms and suites have been injected with a new lease of life: bright tropical reds and oranges accentuate rooms from the curtains to the carpets and warm the stark white walls. Floor-to-ceiling sliding windows allow guests to enjoy scenic views out to the ocean. Bathrooms have sleek fixtures and dark wood-panelled baths.
