Boutique Hotel

This luxurious boutique hotel is nestled in the picturesque streets of Neve Tzedek’s American Colony. It was originally built in 1866 by two American Christian brothers, John and George Drisco, who arrived in Tel Aviv as part of the New England Church of the Messiah’s mission to prepare the land for the second coming. The Drisco is the product of over a decade of restoration work by architect Ari Shaltiel. The 42 elegantly furnished rooms and suites are all different in style, but white walls, wooden floors and marble bathrooms are common features. Some rooms overlook the Mediterranean sea, the suites offer private terraces with views of Tel Aviv and Jaffa, and a charming standalone villa can also be booked. Breakfast at the hotel’s Zada Restaurant features gourmet egg dishes and brioches, with toppings such as home-cured salmon and poached eggs. For dinner, a contemporary Ottoman culinary experience is on offer, while the Drisco Bar in the hotel’s lavish lobby serves classic and speciality cocktails, wines and small bites.
