The Bar/Lounge at Alma Hotel & Lounge

"The lovely light-green 1920s building, theatrical decor and on-site restaurant and tapas bar are the main draws at this boutique choice just off Rothschild Blvd, but the rooftop bar and pretty rear courtyard garden provide additional inducement"

"Located in Tel Aviv's White City district, surrounded by beaches, bars and galleries, the Alma building was originally designed as a private residence by architect Dov Tchendovski in 1925"

"The intimate lounge-bar blends bohemian style with luxurious elegance: Colorful Georgian chairs stand on a checkered floor, fancy liqueur bottles sparkle on sideboards, and the mirror-backed bar reflects funky artworks"

"The hotel is a local dining and drinking hot spot, but there are few other features aside from the on-site lounge"

"Yonatan Roshfeld, the chef behind the nearby tapas restaurant Ahad HaAm, oversees the hotel’s Alma Lounge, where the city’s style crowd gathers"
