The Jaffa
Historic Jaffa
The experience
For travellers who value architecture and a stay in Jaffa. A restored 19th-century building meets a modern wing, with an outdoor pool in the courtyard.
The Jaffa is set in a 19th-century neo-Renaissance building that once served as the convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph, restored and joined by a modern wing with a calm, minimalist character. The architectural vision was led by the British architect John Pawson and the Israeli architect Rami Gil. Across both wings there are 120 rooms and suites around an inner courtyard with an outdoor pool. The setting is historic Jaffa, among winding alleys and galleries, a short walk from the beach.
A stay here balances heritage with practical comforts. The hotel is kosher, under the supervision of the Shoham Rabbinate, with GOLDA'S serving dairy Italian dishes and Giardino a seasonal menu inspired by the northern Mediterranean. The 400 m² spa has four treatment rooms and dry and wet saunas with separate facilities for men and women, and the gym is open around the clock. The Chapel, part of the restored convent, now hosts intimate gatherings and receptions.
