Opened in 1992 as one of Tel Aviv’s first all-suite hotels and renovated in 2006, the Alexander is now one of the city’s most distinctive boutique hotels. Its beachside location is still central, with the trendy restaurants and clubs of the Tel Aviv Port area just steps away.

Setting and arrival
Check-in was efficient and friendly, with a helpful rundown of the neighbourhood and a reminder that beach towels are available.
The rooms
Every room is a suite, from Junior Suites to a two-floor, 6,000-square-foot Presidential Suite. My One Bedroom Suite was dressed in rich colours and textures, with a living room, kitchenette and flat-screen TV, and a wonderful view over the coast and city, especially at sunset. The bathroom has a freestanding bath and separate shower, with L’Occitane toiletries.
Dining
With 24-hour room service and a trendy rooftop lounge and restaurant, there is little need for the kitchenette.
The verdict
A beautiful beachside location, spacious modern suites and friendly service make the Alexander a top choice in Tel Aviv.
