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).
