We agree, Sea One is a stupid name for a hotel. And, what would that even be in Hebrew? Yam Echad? Luckily, the naming team at Isrotel has come up with a different name. The luxury Tel Aviv hotel will be known as the Royal Beach Tel Aviv. Yes, the hotel will be a part of the Exclusive Collection, along with the other Royal Beach. Royal Beach Tel Aviv will have 23 floors, with 241 rooms and suites. The hotel is designed by the well know German designer Harald Klein, who has done several hotels in Germany, including the Sofitel Berlin's suites.
Interestingly, the hotel's rooms are divided into several groupings.
Three of the floors are designated for business levels. On the eighteenth floor will be the two story business lounge, boasting "showers, toilets (including handicap-toilet), TV room, 2 meeting rooms, bar, service area that includes newspapers, journals and office services, in addition to a quiet work area and dining areas." It's slightly curious as to why a hotel business lounge would include showers... Isn't that what a hotel room is for?
Two floors of the hotel are designated as the VIP levels, with a presidential suite and four additional suites on each level.
The Wellness Guestrooms, on two levels above and below the Spa, "allow such guests interested in the Spa services to stay by its facilities, and to walk around with their white Spa bathrobes, and use the Spa services without having to ‘mingle’ with other hotel guests." Seriously? We never knew mingling was so terrible.
As the only hotel being designed after the creation of Isrotel Exclusive Collection, we can't help but wonder- is this the design for all future hotels? Different, exclusive floors for different guests? Wonder where they'd put normal people like us...
