The Setai Tel Aviv.

Occupying a meticulous restoration of an Ottoman-era fortress and former police station, The Setai Tel Aviv bridges centuries of history on the edge of Jaffa’s Clock Square. The architecture preserves 12th-century Crusader foundations and 19th-century masonry, featuring original stone walls and archways that contrast with sleek, contemporary interiors. Its five interconnected buildings wrap around a central courtyard, creating an atmospheric urban resort that feels grounded in the ancient port’s timeline. The standout feature is the rooftop infinity pool, which offers a panoramic vantage point over the Mediterranean and the Tel Aviv skyline. Beyond the Turkish hamam and marble-clad spa, the hotel’s location provides immediate access to the flea market and the Jaffa promenade.
