The Drisco Hotel Tel Aviv - Relais & Châteaux - Adults Only
A heritage 1866 hotel, adults only, in the German Colony
About this hotel
The Drisco is an adults-only property, which rules it out for a family travelling with children but makes it a genuine option for the couple's portion of a longer Memadion trip, once grandparents or other arrangements cover the kids. The heritage building, dating to 1866 and set in the quiet American-German Colony, offers spa treatment rooms and a rooftop overlooking the sea, a step away from the noise of the central hotel strip. Facilities include a Techno gym, the George & John restaurant, and complimentary mini-bar service. Old Jaffa, the Mediterranean Sea and several markets sit within reach, and two light rail tram stations provide transport without a car. Twenty-four-hour reception and concierge cover any request around the clock.
- Adults only
- Rooftop sea view
- Spa treatment rooms
Our take
This suits couples splitting a Memadion trip into a family segment and an adults-only segment, using The Drisco for the quieter half once children are elsewhere. Families needing rooms that accommodate kids should look at any other property on this list instead, since the adults-only policy is enforced throughout the hotel, not just in specific areas.
- ✓Book The Drisco only for the portion of your trip without children present, since the adults-only policy applies to the entire property, not select rooms.
- ✓Reserve the rooftop for sunset, when the sea view and quieter German Colony setting are at their best after a day apart from a Memadion crowd.
- ✓Use the two nearby light rail tram stations to reach the central hotel strip for the family portion of a split-stay trip.

Why guests love itWe used The Drisco for the two nights the grandparents took the kids, and the quiet of the German Colony after a week of Memadion crowds felt like a different city entirely. The rooftop at sunset was worth the whole stay on its own, and the spa treatment finally gave my partner the reset she'd been chasing all week. Not a fit for the family days, but exactly right for the break in between.
