TLV Sauna & Hotel recommendations?
Any recommendations on a sauna in TLV? Google took me to saunatelaviv, would be great to get some info on it if folks have been.
I'm debating between Hilton/Renaissance/Sheraton for the hotel. Any of them better or worse from a gay perspective (location mostly)
Thank you!

In terms of nightlife, the proximity is probably the opposite, with the Sheraton being closest. You're probably not walking to most nightlife though.

Sauna Tel Aviv is about a year old. The wet area is nice. The play space is weird and uncomfortable. The large lounge is a wasted space. The restrooms are hideous, it's hard to grasp how after such a short time they're already in such a shameful state of disrepair. The locker area is cramped. The place is far smaller than most saunas in Europe/USA.
The only other sauna is Paradise. This one is even smaller. It's old and dilapidated. I imagine that many have migrated over to the newer sauna.

The quality and size of the place doesn't matter; if you find what you're going there for, you'll have a fabulous time and nothing else matters...
Check their event calendars, they have theme nights that draw larger crowds.
Report back!

The gay Beach is the beach in front of the Hilton. The Renaissance is about a 10 minute walk away, and the Sheraton another 5 minutes.

Any idea when it can be booked on the SPG website and/or with points?
