Israel is one of the most historically significant countries in the World. Combine that with its vibrant culture - with booming start-up and gastronomic scenes - and it’s clear to see that Israel has plenty to offer the curious traveller.
Now, guests at The Ritz-Carlton, Herzliya on Israel’s central coast are being given a unique opportunity to experience Israel like never before. The luxury hotel has unveiled a new bespoke concierge service which utilises local knowledge to unearth hidden gems rarely available to travellers, giving them the opportunity to collect new unique stories and memories which they would be unlikely to discover for themselves.
The Ritz-Carlton, Herzliya Guests have five concepts to choose from: Culinary & Wine; Fashion, Design & the Arts; Hi-tech & Science; Lifestyle & Nightlife or Voluntary & Education. Once one, or a combination of options, has been selected, a fully personalised itinerary is created, encompassing particular areas of interest, original content and extraordinary local destinations, giving unparalleled access to unseen Israel.
Culinary and Wine
offers guests private cookery lessons from a renowned chef; an exploration of South Tel Aviv’s food market with a local blogger, where guests can experience the blended tastes from different cultures; and visits to boutique wineries and vineyards in the hills of the Golan and the surrounding countryside.

Fashion, Design & The Arts
allows guests to choose from after-hours private tours of renowned institutions, such as the Holon Design Museum, or to visit the working studios of Tel Aviv’s up-and-coming artists. Also, as the city is home to the World’s largest diamond exchange, those with a passion for jewellery are offered an unsurpassed insight into this otherwise secretive industry.
High-tech & Science
offers guests the opportunity to explore the start-up scene in Israel. Meetings can be arranged with fledgling entrepreneurs, or those already on the road to success, to gain a personal insight into the ‘Silicon Valley of Israel’.
Lifestyle & Nightlife
includes exclusive access to private events on the shores of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, or the acclaimed Israeli ‘cave parties’. For those slightly less adventurous, private cocktail making tutorials can be arranged with one of Tel Aviv’s celebrity mixologists, followed by an escorted door-opening tour of the city’s hippest bars.
Voluntary & Education
provides access to a concierge team that can arrange charitable activities. Whether it’s teaching English as a foreign language or helping a child through the Make-a-Wish Foundation, this gives the opportunity to add a philanthropic element to the stay.
