The hype
Guests are obsessed with the design, the scent, and the location, but frequently mention the service doesn't match the 5-star price tag.
The Jaffa, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Tel Aviv
$500-1100 / malam
Tempah ini jika You want a design-forward stay where 19th-century history meets minimalist luxury, and you don't mind paying a premium for the aesthetic.
Mengapa Orang Suka Ini
- Stunning architecture blending a former French hospital with modern minimalism
- The Chapel bar is arguably the most beautiful nightlife spot in Tel Aviv
- Located right in the heart of Jaffa, steps from the flea market and beach
Ringkasan Cepat: Visually spectacular hardware that is currently let down by a 'corporate' service vibe since the management change.
Ditinjau oleh @travelwithhilla: I was completely blown away by the architecture here. Walking through the corridors felt like being on a movie set, and the pool area is the perfect quiet escape from the city heat. The history is everywhere, but the rooms are super modern. It's a total vibe.

- You are a design or architecture nerd
- You want to be walking distance to Jaffa's best restaurants and flea market
- You appreciate a high-end gym with Technogym equipment
