Stay Hotel, one of the most luxurious and prestigious hotels in Israel, opened its doors earlier this week after being closed for five months. The hotel, located on the canopy of Jaffa and near Clock Square, in the period before Corona relied mainly on foreign tourists, but is now open to Israelis. Stay Tel Aviv is the last hotel of the Nakash brothers to open, after opening the Dead Sea Milos, Stay Kinneret, Herbert Samuel, Royal Shangri-La and all the other hotels of the chain in recent weeks.

Before the Corona period, the hotel was staffed by about 80 percent of foreign tourists. Now, the only ones who can get to the hotel are the Israelis who enjoy low prices that hover around NIS 1,500 per couple per night. In the past, the prices at the hotel were about a thousand shekels more expensive on average per night.

Yaniv Adibi, CEO of the hotel, said of the exciting opening, "After five months we decided to open, we like to see the Israeli audience and try to fill the place of a vacation abroad. There is a high demand even though we opened only two days ago. "Based on foreign tourists and now there are only Israelis, but it does not change our level of investment and strictness, we maintain the same standards and of course everything according to the rules of the purple mark. The air conditioning systems have undergone a purification process and hotel employees have undergone special training."

Currently, breakfasts at the hotel are served by a waiter and there is no buffet in order to minimize contagion options. Most hotel guests choose to dine on the open terrace of the dining room. The rooms are equipped with hygiene kits and the beds in the pool are separated by two meters.

One of the hotel's well-known attractions is the Infinity Pool, the pool located just above the Jaffa beach that last year was also named the 'Best Hotel Pool in the World' by the Jetsetter tourist site. The building in which the hotel is located dates from the 13th century and over the years has undergone quite a few uses, the rest house was a prison and a police station, among other things, the policeman Azoulay film was shot in the hotel in its previous incarnation as a police station.
