Relais & Châteaux is growing and the collection is delighted to welcome eleven properties which operate in harmony with their surroundings and align with our shared vision of hospitality.
Among the properties is The Drisco Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel
Located on a quiet street in the German-American Colony district of Tel Aviv, The Drisco Tel Aviv is a charming destination, proud of its heritage. Recently renovated, the property is one of the oldest hotels in Israel–century-old frescoes still adorn the walls of the lounge and bar, once frequented by some of the great writers of the 19th century. The elegant decor of the 40 guest rooms lends the property an intimate and peaceful atmosphere.
Relax with a treatment at the Daria Spa, enjoy the tranquillity of the hotel’s shady patio, or contemplate the sea from the rooftop–with a cocktail in hand. At George & John–voted for the third time as one of the 50 best restaurants by the Middle East & North Africa’s 50 best restaurants 2024–chef Tomer Tal’s creative cuisine draws inspiration from Tel Aviv’s renowned multiculturalism. Locally sourced, seasonal produce gives life to gourmet dishes, served in an elegant dining room or a private space facing the kitchen, with breakfast enjoyed on the adjoining patio. During stays, bicycles are at your disposal, allowing you to discover neighborhoods close to the hotel, such as Jaffa and Neve Tzedek, as well as the beaches south of the city, just a few minutes away.
