Sheraton City Tower (Hebrew: שרתון סיטי טאוור) is the third-tallest building in Israel and the tallest hotel (although it also contains residential apartments). It was the tallest building in Ramat Gan from its construction in 2000, until 2001, when it was surpassed by the Moshe Aviv Tower. It will move to third place when the Elite Tower project is complete.

[edit] History
The Sheraton City Tower was constructed from a design which won first place in a competition. The construction rate of the tower was incredibly quick with one storey every five days, without failure. The building was completed in 2000 and is named after Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, which operates a hotel in the 170 m tall. The building also contains 200 apartments which boast the benefits of hotel service.
[edit] Apartments
The 200 apartments in the tower can access the hotel service from below, in addition to their own entrance to the building through a mini-mall.
[edit] Hotel
The Sheraton City Tower hotel operates on fourteen of the forty-two floors of the tower. Under the instructions of Sheraton, there is no thirteenth floor in the building, so the hotel operates from floors four to eighteen. The hotel has 167 guest units, including a Smart Presidential Suite, 31 Smart Executive Suites, 69 Smart Rooms and 66 Deluxe Rooms. The Sheraton City Tower was the first 5-star hotel in Ramat Gan.
[edit] In popular culture
- An Israeli soap opera called City Tower is supposedly set in the building. The show was shown on local TV.
