In a testament to its enduring excellence, the Carlton Tel Aviv secures its ninth World Travel Award as Israel’s Best Business Hotel

The Carlton Tel Aviv Hotel has been named Israel’s Best Business Hotel for 2025 by the World Travel Awards (WTA) — a prestigious global organization often referred to by The Wall Street Journal as “the Oscars of the travel industry.”
With more than four decades of experience, five-star luxury status, and a prime beachfront location just steps away from Tel Aviv’s business and cultural centers, the Carlton has long been a favorite among business travelers seeking the perfect balance between urban convenience and a relaxing seaside atmosphere.

The hotel features 15 floors and 280 recently renovated rooms and suites, offering guests a luxurious stay complemented by a premium business lounge, exclusive spa complex, and a rooftop pool overlooking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. Guests can also enjoy one of Tel Aviv’s most celebrated breakfasts—an abundant buffet served to the sound of the waves.

The FLAME restaurant, led by acclaimed chef Oren Asido, offers a contemporary menu with local touches, while CONTENTO, the hotel’s summer bar, provides the perfect spot to unwind at sunset with a refreshing cocktail or a cold beer in a vibrant atmosphere.

Each year, the World Travel Awards recognize excellence across the global travel and tourism industry, which is described by the Wall Street Journal as the “Oscars of the travel industry.” Winners are chosen by travel professionals, agencies, and the public from more than 160 countries worldwide.

“We are proud and excited to receive the title of Israel’s Best Business Hotel for 2025 from the World Travel Awards. This is the ninth year that the Carlton Tel Aviv has received this international recognition. The award reflects our team’s hard work, unwavering dedication, and the high standard of hospitality we uphold every day.
"Over the years, the Carlton Tel Aviv has become a second home for business leaders, diplomats, and guests from around the world who seek the perfect blend of urban comfort, personal service, contemporary cuisine, and breathtaking Mediterranean views. I extend my heartfelt thanks to our loyal guests, who continue to choose us time and again and enable us to remain at the forefront of Israel’s business hospitality scene.”
