Characterized by a distinctive modern design that is as stunning to the senses as it is welcoming to the soul, THE POLI HOUSE design boutique hotel in Tel Aviv is the embodiment of the urban eccentricities, diversity and personalities that shape the city’s eclectic culture and design.
The whimsical and earnest designs of architect Karim Rashid and South Tel Aviv’s unfiltered, street-art lined streets, work in unison with THE POLI HOUSE’s panoramic rooftop pool, sun deck, cocktail bar, tranquil spa treatment room and quaint cafe in a luxurious 1930’s Bauhaus edifice to create a next-level hospitality experience unmatched in the White City.
Originally built in 1934 as a commercial office space known as the Polishuk House, the Poli House Hotel has a colorful history that has seen it house some of the city’s most iconic operations, including the clandestine Etzel printing press during the British Mandate and later the famous “Naaley Pil” (Elephant Shoes) children’s shoe store. After lying dormant and disheveled for years, the building has been painstakingly restored to its former glory by the award-winning, Tel Aviv-based Nitza Szmuk Architects and transformed into a symbol of Tel Aviv’s renaissance as an artistic, culinary and cultural hub.
