CONCIERGE GUIDE
Ronen Alkalai
Welcome To Tel Aviv
Shalom and welcome to the David InterContinental Tel Aviv. With Tel Aviv’s amazing weather and beaches, great eateries, night life and culture, it makes this city, the city that never stops. Our Concierge team will strive to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Tel Aviv in the trendy Neve Tzedek district. The David InterContinental is a short walking distance from the beach, the city’s largest outdoor market, and the historic Old Jaffa. In February 2011, a complete remodel was done to the hotel, transforming it and making it an even more stunning place to stay. We feature three new and upgraded restaurants, an outdoor bar and sundeck, an additional business lounge and a full service spa opening summer 2013
LOCAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
MORNINGWalk along the new promenade heading south in the direction of Old Jaffa. For me, wandering through the picturesque old city, with its beautiful galleries and museums, is a great way to start the day. Follow the delicious smell to Abulafya bakery and stop and buy one of their beautiful pastries. Then continue on to the flea market to explore the many stalls selling antiques, jewellery, used clothes and lots of second-hand items. This market is open Sunday to Friday from 10am till late afternoon. |
AFTERNOONFrom the hotel, walk north along Tel Aviv's seaside promenade. At the end of the promenade is a new leisure and entertainment area called the Port of Tel Aviv. Locals call it Namal Tel Aviv. Sit in one of the beautiful oceanside cafes or restaurants for a stunning view - especially at sunset. On a hot day try the "kafe barad" which is cold coffee with crushed ice. Delicious. |
EVENINGAt the rear of the hotel is Shabazi Street. Walk along this street and you will find a hidden gem of an area called Neve Tzedek. It's full of beautiful design shops, little cafes and fine restaurants. One restaurant in particular is Suzana, a romantic casual spot full of charm. In the centre of this area you will find the Suzanne Dellal Performing Arts Centre that specialises in dance shows. Well worth a visit. |
LOCAL CULTUREWhat to wearDon't worry about a dress code. Most of Israel is Westernized and in Tel Aviv, you are more likely to be overdressed than underdressed. Orthodox Judaism requires both men and women to substantially cover their bodies. Orthodox men wear a kippah (head cover) and orthodox women have their collar bones, elbows, legs and knees covered. If a woman is married, her hair is covered too (by a scarf, a hat, and/or a wig). Visitors to some synagogues, most churches, and all mosques should be aware that entry will normally not be permitted to those with exposed legs (i.e. wearing shorts or short skirts) or women with exposed upper arms. Women may be denied entry or ordered to wear a robe before entering mosques or synagogues. Carry a wrap or bring a change of clothes. Mosques will also require you to take off your shoes before entry. Men should cover their heads in a synagogue. Kashrut: Jewish Dietary LawsThere is nothing in flavor or style that distinguishes kosher food from any other. Kosher food is simply any food which complies with Jewish dietary laws, which prohibit the consumption of foods such as pork, shellfish and mixtures of meat and dairy.These laws are observed by Israel's hotels and some restaurants. The David InterContinental holds a Certificate as a kosher hotel, issued and supervised by the Rabbinate of Tel Aviv. What is certain is that our talented chefs serve up delicious meals and substitutes that are created for dairy products that assure nothing is lacking from any menu. The hotel's breakfast buffet is dairy, and during lunch and dinner at one of our restaurants serving meat, you will not be able to get milk for your coffee or butter for your bread. LIBERALISMTel Aviv is known for its liberal spirit since it is the cultural and intellectual capital of the country. People here are very open-minded towards new trends and ideas. TAXI METRESWhen traveling by taxi on local rides always ask the driver to operate the metre. Also, always ask for a receipt. It's handy to have in case you leave something in the taxi. TippingIn restaurants it is recommended to tip around 10-20 percent of the bill (in cash only). No need to tip taxi drivers for local rides, only for long distance journeys that take you outside the city you may tip the driver about 10 percent of the bill. |
DID YOU KNOW ?Declaration of IndependenceOn the 14th of May 1948, David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister, announced Israel's Declaration of Independence. The hall at 16 Rothschild Boulevard, where it was declared, has been preserved and is open to the public. Diamond IndustryIsrael is the world leader in diamond polishing and the centre of the industry is located in Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv. Foreign EmbassiesAlthough Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, all the foreign embassies are located in Tel Aviv. Neve TzedekThe Neve Tzedek neighbourhood in Tel Aviv was the first only Jewish neighbourhood to be built outside Jaffa. It was built in 1887, 22 years before the establishment of the city. The White CityIn July 2003, UNESCO, proclaimed 'The White City', the unique urban and historical fabric of the center of Tel Aviv, as a World Cultural Heritage site. |
WHAT TO PACKImmigration formMake sure you keep the white immigration form that you are given on the airplane as it is needed for your hotel check-in and for when you depart Israel. Local currencyMake sure you change some money at the airport as the taxi drivers there don't accept foreign currency nor credit cards. Summer ClothesIsrael is known for its warm and sunny climate, even during the European winter season. It is always recommended to check the climate prior to your arrival and to pack accordingly. |
