A palatial 1913 villa, lovingly transformed into an ultra-contemporary aparthotel, The Levee is the epicenter of Tel Aviv’s trendy southwest and embodies the district’s creative spirit. The hotel’s facade is faithful to its original designers, and charmingly disguises the contemporary wonderland that hides inside.
Throughout The Levee’s neoclassical hallways, walls have been stripped back, a polished stone staircase plunges vertically through the building and raw wooden floors can be found in every room. The traditional reception has been traded for a clutter-free bureau and is simply decorated with a bouquet of carefully arranged flowers. Intended for more than an overnight stay, The Levee caters to the diverse day-to-day needs of its guests and each room features extended amenities such as a laundry nook and Netflix access. While there is no restaurant on site, a complimentary breakfast can be enjoyed daily at the impossibly cool Herzl 16 – just a few minutes walk away and located on a luscious tree-lined avenue.

Israel is a unique case in the Middle East, balancing strong religious influences with a progressive approach to LGBTQ+ rights. LGBTQ+ individuals can live openly and freely, particularly in urban centers like Tel Aviv, often regarded as one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly cities in the world. While same-sex marriage is not legally performed in Israel, the country recognizes civil unions and validates same-sex marriages conducted abroad, granting LGBTQ+ couples many of the same rights as heterosexual married couples.
Israel has been a regional pioneer in LGBTQ+ rights, formally repealing anti-homosexuality laws inherited from British rule in 1988. The country provides legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation in areas like employment and public services, and LGBTQ+ individuals are allowed to serve openly in the military. Adoption by same-sex couples is permitted, reflecting further legal inclusivity.
Tel Aviv is the epicenter of LGBTQ+ life in Israel, hosting the annual Tel Aviv Pride Parade, one of the largest Pride events in the world. The city’s vibrant nightlife, inclusive culture, and welcoming atmosphere attract visitors from across the globe. Outside Tel Aviv, attitudes may be more conservative, particularly in religious and rural communities, but LGBTQ+ individuals generally experience a high degree of safety and freedom compared to other countries in the region.
Israel’s progressive stance on LGBTQ+ rights, coupled with its cultural and historical significance, makes it a compelling destination for LGBTQ+ travelers seeking a mix of openness, heritage, and community.
