The Ritz-Carlton has announced that it will open their first property in Israel late this year. The Ritz-Carlton, Herzliya will be located on the beachfront property of Tel Aviv, a city known for its bustling activity, café culture and business traveler thanks to numerous breakthroughs in technology. Designed by a variety of internationally recognized architects and designers, the 12-story property will hold 197 rooms and 82 suites. Its exterior was crafted at the hands of Rani Ziss Architects Ltd. while New York-based interior design firm Studio Gaia worked on the insides. From the Israeli studio Gad Halperin, the lobby and restaurant concepts were created. The property will offer a unique experience in the city’s urban neighborhood with leisure amenities like a roof-top pool, spa and fitness center. The panoramic rooftop bar will also be the perfect setting for sweeping views of the Mediterranean and its landscapes.
