Originally built in 1934 as a commercial office space known as the Polishuk House, the Poli House Hotel has a colorful history that has seen it house some of the city’s most iconic operations, including the clandestine Etzel printing press during the British Mandate and later the famous “Naaley Pil” (Elephant Shoes) children’s shoe store. After lying dormant and disheveled for years, the building has been painstakingly restored to its former glory by the award-winning, Tel Aviv-based Nitza Szmuk Architects and transformed into a symbol of Tel Aviv’s renaissance as an artistic, culinary and cultural hub.

The Poli House boutique hotel in Tel Aviv uniquely combines classic White City Bauhaus architecture, the raw artistic energy of Tel Aviv’s street and wild creativity of world-renowned designer Karim Rashid to bring to life a vibrant space where honest expression meets extravagance. The hotel’s inimitable design and vital public spaces, rooms, rooftop bar, pool and lobby spaces are a reflection of the hotel and city’s permanent state of Joie de vivre.
