Mandarin Oriental is set to manage a new hotel and residential project in Tel Aviv.

Scheduled to open at the end of 2023, the hotel group claims to be the first luxury hospitality brand to enter the city.

The property will be based in Tel Aviv's exclusive residential area on the waterfront, overlooking one of the city's Mediterranean beaches. 

It will feature 225 rooms, including 44 suites, five restaurants and bars, an extensive pool area, spa and fitness centre. 

The 230 Residences at Mandarin Oriental will offer a range of dedicated facilities, as well as access to the hotel’s amenities.  

“We are delighted to be opening a Mandarin Oriental hotel in Israel that will introduce new levels of luxury and a range of exceptional experiences to the city. We look forward to providing both guests and residents with a luxurious resort environment, combined with Mandarin Oriental’s legendary personalised service,” said James Riley, group chief executive of Mandarin Oriental.

“Tel Aviv is a vibrant destination appealing to a wide range of international travellers seeking a unique cultural and leisure experience. This project is ideally placed to take advantage of the city’s many attractions.”
