The once Ben Nahum Hotel is today the place to be: Shampina

Shampina Bar Tel Aviv

Last Saturday afternoon I did visit an afternoon-party at the Shampina Bar on Rothschild Boulevard 32. The place was crowded and swinging with the ‘to be seen folks’ of Tel Aviv.
You will find the Shampina in the once Ben Nahum Hotel, the beautiful building with this special roof-top on the corner of Rothschild Boulevard and Allenby Street, designed in 1921 by Judah Magidovitch, Tel Aviv’s first city engineer. Last September restoration works started on the building and while the Tel Aviv crowd enjoys the bar at the groundfloor, restoration-work is still going on at the upper floors.
