The Drisco

Located in an artsy enclave of southern Tel Aviv, The Drisco has been lovingly restored to its former glory as a luxury hotel. The striking butter-yellow exterior – first built by American evangelicals in the 19th century – houses 42 rooms and suites, each one imbued with unique character. From hand-painted murals and blush-colored walls, to a private staircase leading up to the charming attic suites, The Drisco pays loyal homage to the building’s rich history. The bedrooms boast Oriental-inspired decor, with wood-carved headboards and teardrop-shaped lamps, while The Drisco Bar’s wood-paneled ceiling, creamy marble columns, and oversized armchairs hark back to British rule. At sunset, head to the small rooftop lounge for views out to the Mediterranean.
