- 5 Auerbach, American Colony, Jaffa
- 42 rooms across a restored 1866 hotel
- George & John tasting room on the ground floor
- Spa, library, pool
The Drisco opened in its current form in 2018 inside the restored 1866 hotel building in the American Colony of Jaffa — forty-two rooms, a library, a small spa, and the George & John tasting room on the ground floor. The address is the only credible five-star in Jaffa and reads quieter than anything across the boundary into Tel Aviv proper.
Book one of the deluxe rooms, take dinner at George & John on the first night, plan the days around the Jaffa flea market and the abu Hassan lunch. For a client who wants Jaffa over Rothschild as the base of the trip, this is the booking — The Norman is the alternative on the city side.
The Jaffa five-star.
