Tel Aviv’s iconic Carlton hotel enhances summer with the opening of Esperanto Beachside Bar, where drinks come with sweeping views of the city’s beachfront promenade. Set on a wooden deck overlooking the sea, Esperanto offers contemporary music alongside a menu of inventive cocktails and light plates designed for relaxed, sunny days by the water.
The hotel’s credentials include being named Israel’s Leading Business Hotel for the fourth time at the 2016 World Travel Awards. After meetings, guests can unwind at the rooftop pool on the 15th floor while admiring the Mediterranean panorama, or visit the recently updated Aviv’s Gym and Spa, which features artwork by David Gerstein. Facilities include a sauna and Turkish steam bath, plus a full menu of restorative spa treatments.
When evening comes, retreat to a well-appointed suite where select weekday turndown amenities add thoughtful touches. These can include a rich foot cream to soothe tired feet after exploring the city, an exclusive scented spray, and antibacterial cleansing cloths for refreshing mobile phones, laptops and tablets—small comforts aimed at making stays more restful and convenient.
