The old Ester cinema was renovated by the Atlas Chain, the owner of this Tel Aviv hotel, who turned the building into a four star hotel while preserving some of the theatrical elements of its past. The enthusiasm that has been put into the renovation and the light touches aimed at preserving the building's past, are all very fetching.
The rates of the hotel are fair and the location is very good - the hotel itself is on a quite little street just off the busy Dizengoff Street. Apparently, the hotel shows classical films in the lobby accompanied by popcorn (an activity which compensates for the lack of a pool).
It isn't very close to the Tel Aviv beach in comparison to the line of hotels located on Hayarkon St, but the sea is still only a 5-10 minute walk away and you can always use the hotel's free bicycle service to get anywhere you like extra quick!
In short:
Cinema Hotel offers a different sort of vacation experience in Tel Aviv and is extremely good value for money.
