Nordau Hotel, Eclectic hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel

The Nordau Hotel is an eclectic building on Nachlat Binyamin Street in Tel Aviv featuring ornate facades with symmetrical divisions, arches, domes, and cantilevered balconies. These elements combine to create a visually detailed and layered composition.

The hotel was built in 1925 on the corner of Nachlat Binyamin 27 and Gruzenberg 22, in the first expansion of Ahuzat Bayit, the neighbourhood that became Tel Aviv. Architect Yehuda Magidovitch, the city's first engineer from 1920 to 1923, designed it. The Greenberg family ran it for 90 years, from 1925 to 2015; after restoration work begun in 2013, it reopened in April 2017.

The hotel has been run by the Greenberg family and their descendants from its opening in 1925 until 2015, when the last operators, Leah and Yitzhak (Yezho) Marcus, sold it. Its name honours Max Nordau, and the building appears on historical postcards and in photography exhibitions; a model of it stands at Mini Israel.

The building sits in an active neighborhood surrounded by other historical structures from the same period, which together illustrate the city's urban development. Taking time to examine the facade details from street level helps you appreciate its architectural features.

A scale model of the Nordau Hotel is displayed at Mini Israel, the miniature park near Latrun. The building also appears on historical postcards of Tel Aviv and has been shown in many photography exhibitions. In March 2018 Time Out Israel ranked it fourth among the city's 15 most beautiful buildings, and in July 2018 residents voted it the most beautiful hotel in Tel Aviv.
