However, the hotels in the area don’t reach the level of hospitality identified with the hotels in Tel-Aviv, Eilat and Jerusalem. The hotels are located around the lake, while most of them are in the city of Tiberias and the rest are scattered freely around the lake and quite a few are on the western side that touches the Golan Heights. In this following article you’ll be able to find a few of the best hotels to stay at during your vacation in the area.
The Scots Hotel is housed in a 19th century structure which used to function as a Scottish hospital in the 19th century. The structure over went extensive renovations while preserving the original character of the building. The hotel was established by the Church of Scotland in 2004 and has since been considered the most unique hotel in the area. The interior design of the hotel combines the historical character of the place and the comfort required from a 5 star hotel. The hotel has a calm, peaceful and quiet atmosphere wrapped in history and mystery and the highest level of service- all these make your vacation at the Scottish Hotel a unique experience.
Why? Without a doubt it’s one of the most special hotels in Israel.
How much? 300-350$ per night.
Con- the price… :)
Leonardo Plaza Hotel (formerly known as The Sheraton Plaza) is one of the oldest and most considered hotels in the Sea of Galilee area and offers a 5 star hotel service. The hotel is located on the banks of the Sea of Galilee and all 258 rooms overlook the beautiful view of the lake. The hotel’s service is of high quality and the hotel’s maintaining is good. In addition the hotel has a beauty spa and a kids club which will allow you not to worry about your kids. Also, the hotel’s prices aren’t that high in comparison to other 5 star hotels in Israel.
Why? Its located on the banks of the Sea of Galilee and its a 5 star hotel at a reasonable price.
How much? 220-300$ per night.
Con- the hotel spa fee is 30 shekels and the noise from the pool can be heard in the rooms and can be a bit annoying (staying on a high floor is preferred
Rimonim Galie Kinnereth is a part of the Rimonim chain of hotels. The hotel is located on the amazing shore of the Sea of Galilee and in addition enjoys a private beach for hotel guests. The hotel’s public areas have recently undergone extensive renovation. Thanks to the hotel’s private beach the swimming experience in the Lake is significantly upgraded and also you can enjoy the hotel spa which is considered one of the best spas in Israel. The hotel service is admirable and the quality of maintenance is high.
Why? The private beach and the reasonable price.
How much? 200-250$ per night.
Con- the rooms haven’t been renovated but they’re at a sufficient level.
The Ramot Resort is located on the western side of the Sea of Galilee (Golan Heights) and without a doubt offers the guests a different atmosphere. Breathtaking views to the Kinneret and dozens of guest rooms (Tzimerim- wooden accommodation) scattered in the village make for a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The green of the nature around and the blue color of the lake won’t leave you indifferent to the village ambiance. The guest rooms are of a high standard (although not the highest that can be found); the public areas of the resort are beautiful, the pool overlooks the Kinneret and the prices are reasonable- all these make the Ramot Resort one of the best choices.
Why? The combination of atmosphere, quality and price.
How much? 180-220$ per night.
Con- there’s no access to an official beach area in the Kenneret.
