Poli House, Tel Aviv
Bauhaus Heritage Meets Bold Contemporary Design
A White City Landmark Reimagined
Rising above bustling Magen David Square, Poli House occupies one of Tel Aviv’s original Bauhaus gems, a gleaming white structure from the 1930s that once stood as a symbol of the city’s utopian ideals. Today, under the creative direction of world-renowned designer Karim Rashid, the building has been reborn as a dazzling design hotel that bridges past and present. Its iconic rounded façade pays homage to the White City’s UNESCO-protected heritage, while its interiors erupt with futuristic color and form.
Design That Pulses with Energy
Inside, Rashid’s unmistakable touch is everywhere: vibrant neon hues, sleek sculptural furniture, and glossy surfaces that reflect the energy of Tel Aviv itself. Guestrooms are playful yet calming, with bright pops of yellow, turquoise, and magenta offsetting clean white walls and minimalist lines. Curved headboards, retro-futuristic lighting, and tactile surfaces give the rooms an almost gallery-like quality, making every stay feel like an immersive art experience.
A Rooftop Like No Other
Poli House’s crown jewel is its panoramic rooftop pool and bar, where sweeping views of Tel Aviv’s skyline and the Mediterranean create an unbeatable urban escape. Here, Bauhaus simplicity below meets Rashid’s kaleidoscopic vision above—a perfect snapshot of the hotel’s dual identity. By day, the rooftop is a sun-soaked haven; by night, it transforms into a lively social hub, with cocktails and music fueling the atmosphere.
The Spirit of the Neighborhood
Set at the crossroads of Nachalat Binyamin, Shenkin, and Allenby streets, the hotel places guests in the beating heart of Tel Aviv’s creative and commercial life. The lively Carmel Market is just steps away, as are galleries, cafés, and boutiques that reflect the city’s ever-evolving cultural landscape. Poli House doesn’t just sit in the neighborhood—it amplifies its eclectic, restless spirit.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Poli House is pure Tel Aviv: heritage wrapped in neon, Bauhaus bones dressed in Karim Rashid’s technicolor imagination. For travelers who crave energy, design, and a rooftop scene that’s second to none, this is not just a hotel—it’s an experience.
