Set in the oldest neighborhood in Tel Aviv, the Jaffa Hotel is a 120-room luxury hotel that is walking distance to the district's ancient center.
John Pawson completely transformed the original 19th-century hospital to perfectly mix contemporary with classic elements, resulting in grand Roman columns and minimalist marble accents. Adding unique furnishings while simply restoring the antique exterior created a one-of-a-kind contrast of history and comfort. Reflecting the warm and neutral tones that are found all around the city, the hotel's rooms make all guest feels as though they are right in the heart of the city.
Delicately restoring the building's extraordinary architecture while adding subtle hints of contemporary amenities, the Jaffa Hotel from RFR Holding’s co-founder Aby Rosen with architect John Pawson is a unique travel experience.
