Travel + Leisure Just Selected Tel Aviv As One of Its Top 50 Destinations of 2018. Here Are Some Local Spots They Won't Tell You About.
For the first time ever, Travel+Leisure, the magazine for people with inexplicable reserves of time and money, has selected Tel Aviv as one of its top 50 destinations for the coming year.
“This month,” the magazine wrote, “the Setai opens in a former Ottoman prison; a new W Hotel housed in a 19th-century former convent and pilgrims’ hospice is scheduled to open in March. It’s just the latest in a growing list of upscale hotels, restaurants, and boutiques to arrive among the winding streets of this former fishing village. Jaffa’s once-shabby flea market is now populated by a number of high-end antique dealerships, which sit alongside trendy cafés and bars—many offering live music into the night.”
