Colony Hotel Haifa

Haifa


This tastefully updated Templer building is the ideal spot to soak up the German Colony's history and atmosphere. Its 40 rooms have large windows, high ceilings, all-marble bathrooms and antique-themed furniture such as four-poster beds. Throw in a roof terrace, an excellent Mediterranean breakfast buffet and a Swedish massage (from 160NIS) and Colony Hotel is a winning package.

Rates vary by season and room type (the most luxurious are the 'Deluxe' rooms with balcony).
