United moved back ahead of arch-rivals Manchester City on goal difference but crucially have two games in hand as they maintain their bid to win a record 19th title.
From the top of the arch, you can gaze back at Sde Dov's single runway, the sweep of the rugged coastline and, on the horizon, the chic marina at Herzliya, the next town up the coast.
The links between the two, though, go back to the days of Reliance founder Dhirubhai Ambani who preferred the Oberoi over its arch rival Taj chain, part of the Tata Group.
