The Hilton Tel Aviv is a large hotel, managed by Hilton Hotels, located in the heart of Tel Aviv, Israel, in Independence Park, with direct access to the Hilton Public Beach and the Tel Aviv Promenade.

History

Construction of the Tel Aviv Hilton began on September 13, 1962. It was designed by architect Yaakov Rechter, in the late modern style. During its construction three workers were killed. Prime Minister Levi Eshkol attended the hotel's official opening on September 13, 1965. It was the largest, most modern hotel in the country at the time.

The hotel was expanded in 1970, with a new wing on the east side, adding an additional 12 rooms to every floor. In 1982, the hotel hosted the International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide. In 2000, the hotel underwent a complete renovation. In 2016, the Vista Lounge on the 17th floor was completely redone and The Vista at Hilton Tel Aviv (a luxury property) was opened on the top four floors of the building, and in 2017, the lobby was renovated. The rooms undergo renovations annually.

Pop culture

The hotel plays a prominent role in Nicole Krauss's 2017 novel Forest Dark.
