Accessibility at the Rothschild Hotel compound

The Rothschild Hotel is located in a building designated for preservation under the strictest of standards, and therefore unfortunately does not comply with accessibility guidelines as set out by Israeli law and the Municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffa for this kind of building. There also is no handicapped parking nearby.
