Pioneering preservation project
Six Senses Tel Aviv will be a mix of five 110-year-old preservation buildings and a new 42-storey tower. The property is slated to open in late 2025.
The heritage buildings define the base and roots of the modern 42-floor tower. Once complete, it will house the 10-floor, 140-key Six Senses hotel, and 55 stylish and comfortable residences, rising a further 21 floors and serviced by Six Senses.
The new tower will be based on LEED Platinum standards and will be the first of its kind in Israel.
The original five buildings date back to 1909 and will be joined together at the edge of Rothschild Boulevard to stretch across an entire city block between the prestigious Rothschild, Herzel, and Lilienblum Streets. Together they are considered the largest and most important preservation project in Tel Aviv.
The planned preservation works will be overseen by Preservation Architects Amnon Bar-Or Architects and Preservation Structural Engineer Yaron Gal. Architecture will be handled by Rani Ziss, with interiors by Orly Shrem.
In addition, the hotel will house multiple state-of-the-art facilities. This includes spa and wellness facilities spread over two floors, a social and wellness community, a sky pool on the 17th floor, a chef’s restaurant and multiple diverse public spaces.
Prestigious location
The hotel will be located in Tel Aviv’s White City. The upmarket district is known for its unique architectural style, housing the highest number of Bauhaus buildings of any city in the world.
White City was proclaimed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2003 and is also known for its unique atmosphere, central garden and mix of dining and shopping attractions.
Within the White City, the expansive, tree-lined Rothschild Boulevard is known as the heart of Tel Aviv and a signature of success and well-being with many new high-end residential apartments and commercial towers.
Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs said of the opening, “Tel Aviv is one of the most happening cities in the world right now. To understand it, you have to experience it, from its innovation hub to its creative and arts scene, its café culture, and its ingenious Israeli chefs.
“It is enormously exciting to have the chance to not only be part of this city but to lay our foundation stone next to its foundation stone. We’re building the vision for Six Senses Tel Aviv together with Tidhar Group, one of the leading Israeli real estate groups, which means we have passion and purpose running through the property,” he added.
Six Senses Tel Aviv is the second for the brand in Israel, following the opening of Six Senses Shaharut, a desert resort property which opened in 2021.
