What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Soho House Tel Aviv, Jaffa is, for now at least, the only Soho House with a turreted tower as part of its construction, thanks to the unique 19th-century building it calls home.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Jaffa Flea Market sits just down the street, and the ancient stone port is a five-minute walk away.
The rooms
Bedrooms have geometric parquet floors and vaulted ceilings, while top apartments sit directly inside the original circular turrets.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The sunken outdoor pool is paved with terracotta tiles and bordered by loungers under fringed umbrellas.
At the table
Bartenders mix drinks beside the pool and under a courtyard pergola shaded by olive trees.
How it began
Before its restoration, the complex served the French Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Apparition as a school and hospital.
