Besides the "classical" Bauhaus style architecture in Tel Aviv, I found a lot of modern architecture: not only the hotels but also and specially in North and East side of the city. It worth a walk around.

Azrieli Center is one of Tel Aviv's great symbols. The center was built t the end of the 20th century and the contdown for the new millennium was made on the ropund towe. The Project is consists of 3 buildings with the highest one is about 187 meters. It used to be once the tallest building in Israel but the City Gate of Ramat Gan left it behind after 2 years at the top.
The center is mostly used for offices but it consists also a Crown Plaza hotel, a sucessful shopping center and an observatory where you can have a lookout of about 50km.
In my opinion Azrieli is the place that changed whole appearance of Tel Aviv, making it a strong competitor to every city in the world at the skyscrapers issues. Beside the 3 buildings of Azrieli the area is devaloping very fast with more and more office buildings showing up, highways being built and people coming and going all day long.

The Azrieli Towers, located in central Tel-Aviv is a fantastic spot to wind your way up to the observation point. From there you can see 360 degrees around Tel-Aviv. I have included here shots showing 4 different directions. Azrieli Towers are a cluster of three towers, each a different geometric shape, a circle, a square and a triangle. As you can see in the last photo, even the skylights have interersting views as well as architectural details.

When they started buiding the Azrieli Center, in 1996, many of us thought that it's gonna be an ugly construction which will spoil the image of the city, being too high. Today we have higher buildings and Azrieli is the most popular one so far. It consist of two towers triangular and circular ones. The third one, square shaped, is growing and almost reached the height of it's neighbors. As soon as it's finished I'll update this tip.
Azrieli Center has a huge shoping mall with many shops, restaurants and a movie theater. Many offices and conference rooms are found there as well. But the biggest attraction of the Center is the Israel's tallest observation deck from which you get a beautiful view on Tel Aviv and its surroundings.
