Scene
Business hotel with contemporary style and a little wear and tear
Leonardo City Tower Hotel is a business-centric property popular with travelers in the tech and jewel industries thanks to its Ramat Gan location near the Diamond Exchange District and corporate offices. While reviews have been mixed over the years (mostly with service-oriented pain points), the hotel fell under new management toward the end of 2017, and has largely garnered positive feedback since. Like several hotels in Israel, City Tower has a contemporary style with some visible wear and tear. As with all Leonardo properties, this hotel pays homage to its namesake with reprints of famous Da Vinci sketches throughout, though most noticeably behind beds in guest rooms. Though this property caters mostly to business travelers, it's an all-ages hotel and family-friendly.
Location
On the border of Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, near the Diamond Exchange
Leonardo City Tower is located on the edge of Tel Aviv proper in Ramat Gan, close to the Diamond Exchange and tech company headquarters. There are several shopping malls in the immediate vicinity. The hotel's location among main roads makes for heavy traffic, and guests should remain cautious when on foot. - Four-minute walk to the Diamond Exchange
Rooms
Rooms have mini-fridges, free international calls, and AC
The 167 rooms here are contemporary, albeit largely generic and showing wear and tear. Expect carpeted rooms with a brown-and-olive-green color scheme, simple glass-topped furniture, and headboards featuring Leonardo da Vinci sketches. Lower-category Deluxe Rooms are decently sized and have big windows, desks with chairs, and wardrobes with safes. Same-sized Executive Rooms exchange mini-fridges for minibars and have higher-quality furniture. Business Lounge access starts as a perk with Club Rooms, which are located on higher floors and also have a VIP welcome gift. Junior Suites have separate living rooms with leather couches and dining tables, and coveted corner locations. Black and beige tiled bathrooms have shower/tub combos, hotel-brand toiletries, and hairdryers, plus robes in upgraded units. Free international calls are available from all rooms.

Dedicated business floor, plus exclusive lounge with free snacks and periodicals

Features
Popular rooftop pool and breakfast, plus a wellness area
The rooftop pool at Leonardo City Tower provides views over the city and is open year-round (a rarity for the area). A few loungers are set up around its perimeter, and there's an adjacent raised whirlpool. The extensive Israeli breakfast buffet is popular and served overlooking the pool from the Arugula dining room. The hotel is kosher, so guests can expect an extensive Israeli dairy breakfast buffet and meat dinner. Lunch in Arugula is served depending on demand, and seasonal lunch and dinner menus are available in the lobby Tapasta Restaurant, which also has a full bar and a lively atmosphere during after-work hours. Food across the board receives positive reviews.Leonardo City Tower prides itself on its “sweet surprises,” spontaneous treats like ice cream or popsicles handed out to guests. In addition to being certified kosher, the hotel also provides Shabbat elevators and a weekend synagogue in one of the banquet halls. Other hotel features include a recycled lending library with books available for purchase, ATMs, and a smoking area with patio furniture and fake grass.
