One of my most vivid impressions from my next visit to Tel Aviv is the overhauled Shalom Hotel, located on the Tel Aviv embankment. There is little to surprise me in Tel Aviv - I lived in this wonderful fun city for 5 years. And I worked for more than 10. And I knew this hotel well - I drove past it to work and back, I went in once ...And it didn’t cause much delight in me - a simple building, some kind of unkempt one. Therefore, this hotel was rarely offered to tourists - why should we make problems for people for their own money?
Two years ago, everything changed - the hotel entered the well-known Israeli hotel chain Atlas. The hotels of this network are distinguished by their compactness and non-Israeli service! That is why we have many regular customers who in Jerusalem recognize only the Harmony Hotel.
In Tel Aviv, we have always offered tourists who want to book a hotel higher than Israeli 4 *, but are not ready to pay for 5, or the neighboring hotel of the same Atlas - the Melody Hotel, or the Savoy Hotel. And now I regret only one thing - that this exclusive hotel, the Shalom Hotel, did not offer tourists.


The main plus of this hotel is the complete absence of minuses. The fact that the promenade and the beach are across the road does not bother most tourists - this is the specificity of the Tel Aviv embankment ...In addition, opposite the hotel there is a large and well-maintained garden - "Gan Atzmaut" (Garden of Independence). A few years ago it was an unpleasant and I would even say dangerous place. But the city authorities capitally invested and now this is a civilized place!

I won't tell you about the lobby and the rooms - it's a must see! Food is a separate issue. This is a gourmet feast. Especially those who appreciate not only the range, but also the quality of products.
You can book accommodation in this hotel both on online booking sites and through any tour operator from Russian / Ukrainian / Belarusian ...The conditions will be +/- the same. Breakfast is included in the room rate. You can dine in one of the dozens of cafe-restaurants in the area. And there are no problems with dinners in Tel Aviv. But before you go in search of a suitable place, I recommend that you look into the cozy hotel restaurant for Happy hour. From 17 to 19 - treat for FREE.
Guests of the hotel can also take advantage of a free sightseeing tour of the city with a visit to Old Jaffa, which is sponsored by the Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan (a suburb of Tel Aviv). It is recommended to book BEFORE you leave for Israel. Although you can order it while already at the hotel. But it's a little more complicated - you have to call, negotiate ...

Our tour operator in Israel "Classic Travel" is interested in the promotion of this hotel no more than in the promotion of others. We are not affiliated with any hotel - both me and my colleagues from the St. Petersburg and Moscow offices of Classic Travel do not care what hotels to sell. It is important for us that the tourist returned from Israel satisfied! Therefore, we always recommend only those hotels for which you will not be ashamed later. Everything is individual here - someone will be comfortable enough to spend the night in the nearby Olympia hotel, someone will be satisfied with the Metropolitan hotel corresponding to its price ...Those who are looking for not just a hotel in Tel Aviv, but something special with their own "chip" and at the same time by the Mediterranean Sea, I strongly recommend either the Shalom hotel or the neighboring Melody. Not cheap, but worth it!
