BACKGROUND The David Kempinski, which opened in April 2022, takes its name not from the Biblical David, but from David Taic the father of Henry Taic, who owns the property through his Nahal Group along with 28-storey residential tower the David Promenade Residences next door (dpresidences.co.il).
WHERE IS IT? On Hayarkon Street, a busy thoroughfare that runs parallel to the beach and is also home to the Sheraton and Hilton, with many embassies close by.
WHAT'S IT LIKE? Very tall (34-storeys), very modern, and with lots of glass and design elements. There's a double-height reception and it makes the most of its location with sea views in all the public areas and rooms. Feigin Architects designed the building, with interiors by ARA Design featuring nods to the Bauhaus and International architectural styles found in Tel Aviv - expect to see lots of rectangles, squares and modern art pieces. What warms the place is the staff, who are quick to smile and ready to help - whether offering directions or giving advice on how to get to the train station on the Sabbath (answer: don't go, the trains aren't running).
