“We came as a couple and had an excellent experience. A huge, indulgent, clean room with a wonderful scent and a balcony right on the sea. Excellent service, and the massage was spot on. A nice breakfast facing the sea. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a special hotel with a calm atmosphere.”

“The reception and management team are simply amazing! Our suite facing the Mediterranean was really indulgent, and the breakfast room is on the terrace facing the sea. There are stairs to some of the rooms and to the breakfast room.”

In the heart of Old Acre (Akko), a UNESCO World Heritage site. The reception is in the main building at 10 Street, House 31, and the suites are scattered along the lane that leads from it, minutes on foot from the port, the market, the Al-Jazzar Mosque, the Knights’ Halls and the walls. In Waze search for “Akotika”. Haifa is about 30 minutes by car, Nahariya about 15 minutes and Rosh HaNikra about 25 minutes. Hotel phone: +972-4-651-1663.
It is not one hotel building: every suite is a restored ancient building in the alleys, each with its own character: stone vaults, arched windows, a sea-view balcony, a jacuzzi, a special bathtub or a private plunge pool inside an Ottoman “cave” with Crusader remains. For the length of your stay you become part of the neighbourhood, and breakfast is served on the roof facing the sea and the wall.
About 20 units of 30–80 sqm. Seven types are shown on this page: The Seaview Balcony & Jacuzzi (60 sqm, seafront, a huge jacuzzi, a roof terrace shared by four suites), The Seaview Balcony (40 sqm, private balcony and bathtub), The Spring in the Cave (a heated private plunge pool in a vaulted space, no windows), Window to the Mediterranean (35 sqm, with a shared sea-facing lounge, a sauna and a roof terrace), The Crusader Suite (40 sqm), Superb Room with Bath (30 sqm) and The Arches (30 sqm). All have a king-size bed, air conditioning, a smart TV, an espresso machine and a minibar. When booking, check the features of each unit, because they differ.
An Acre-Galilean breakfast is served at the LIWA rooftop restaurant facing the sea and the wall; in the booking engine, each unit shows the options with or without breakfast, with the price beside them. Tell the hotel about food sensitivities at least three days in advance. The hotel does not publish a kosher certificate on its website, and guests report a kosher breakfast; confirm with the hotel.
The hotel has no private parking. Street parking outside the walls is free, and on weekends and holidays, when the old city is crowded, it is best to park outside it and walk. The reception helps with parking. From the car you walk through the alleys to the main building, so a light suitcase and comfortable shoes help.
Check-in from 15:00, on Saturdays and holidays from 18:00. Check-out by 11:00, on Saturdays and holidays by 14:00. The reception and lobby are open 09:00–18:00; later arrivals are arranged in advance by phone or WhatsApp. Late check-out depends on occupancy and carries a fee. Payment is at the hotel, and the credit card is used as a guarantee only.
No. The hotel is inside an ancient city with preservation rules: there are no elevators, access to most suites and to the roof (where breakfast is served) is by stairs only, and the hotel is not suitable for guests with limited mobility. Street-level suites such as The Spring in the Cave save the stairs to the room, but not to the roof.
No. The hotel welcomes guests aged 16 and over only and is intended mainly for couples. There is no pool either: the indulgence is in the jacuzzi, the special bathtubs and the private plunge pool of the relevant suites, and in the sea within walking distance.
Everything is within walking distance of the suites: the Knights’ Halls and the Templars’ Tunnel, the Al-Jazzar Mosque, the Turkish bazaar and the khans, the port and the promenade on the walls, boats and kayaks, the restaurants and hummus places of the old city, and the beach. The hotel’s Ottoman lounge (for selected suites) overlooks the sea and the walls, and the treatment area offers massages by prior arrangement.
