The Jaffa – A Dialogue Between Eras
Nestled within the storied alleys of ancient Jaffa, mere steps from the Mediterranean shore, The Jaffa stands as a masterful convergence of heritage and modernity. Housed in a 19th-century neo-Renaissance edifice that once served as the French Hospital, this distinguished property is a member of the Fattal Limited Edition collection, offering a singular hospitality experience that is both timeless and contemporary.
Meticulously reimagined by acclaimed British architect John Pawson alongside Israeli architect Rami Gil, The Jaffa preserves the solemn grandeur of its historic past while embracing minimalist elegance. The result is an architectural composition of rare beauty —where the passage of time becomes a design statement in itself.
Guests are invited to choose between two distinct wings: the heritage wing, steeped in old-world charm, and the modern wing, a study in understated sophistication. Across 120 rooms and suites, each space reveals bespoke furnishings, king-size beds, and private balconies overlooking Jaffa’s rooftops, the azure coastline, or the tranquil courtyard pool — a sanctuary of calm in the heart of the city.
Culinary excellence finds its expression at Giardino, The Jaffa’s chef-led restaurant. Drawing inspiration from the Italian-American dining rooms of mid-century New York, the menu celebrates local ingredients and Mediterranean nuance, delivering a refined yet soulful gastronomic journey.
The Jaffa is not merely a place to stay — it is a place to arrive, to reflect, and to be quietly moved by the dialogue between eras.
