The Rothschield Hotel / Tel Aviv | Michael Azoulay

The Rothschild Hotel was designed in tribute to the Zionist vision and activities of Baron Edmond de Rothschild. The hotel is housed in a historic and eclectic building. It is a creative and experiential interpretation of the Baron’s vision, character and work, an expression of a new and original Israeli work that provides a sense of relaxation and understated luxury. A variety of all-natural materials was specially selected for this challenge, materials from pre-synthetic times; Black iron was taken from the gates of Parisian homes, with doorknobs, knockers or bells made from yellow brass. A variety of furniture was specially created from iron and brass: small cabinets, night tables, mirror frames, headboard rods and more.

All the materials were carefully chosen including stone, leather, wool, wood, cotton, and paper, all contribute to the fusion of culture experience, without masquerading as period design.
