On Jaffa’s main street, within walking distance to Jaffa’s Old City and sea port, the 3,000 m2 site with its historical small mansion is designed as a major new link strengthening a strip of commercial, tourist facilities, educational, civic, cultural and international institutions. The existing historical building defines the entrance to a courtyard surrounded three wings lined with commercial and common areas on ground floors, and 160 hotel rooms on the upper floors, all linked together by a four story high building with varied sun screened passages.
