A place defined by atmosphere, style, tranquility, and intimacy
In the picturesque alleys of Old Akko, overlooking the city walls and the sea, Efendi Hotel is set within two historic buildings. Centuries of history are held within their walls, carefully restored and seamlessly combined into a one of a kind boutique hotel.
All rooms are furnished and equipped to the highest standards, each with its own unique character. Some feature hand painted ceilings, while others showcase preserved wooden ceilings. Most rooms offer sea views, while the rest overlook the Old City and the hills of the Western Galilee.
The hotel offers a couples spa treatment room and an authentic 400 year old Turkish hammam, fully preserved. The wine cellar, dating back to the Crusader period, has also been restored and now serves as an intimate wine bar.
In short: The Efendi Hotel is a boutique hotel in Old Akko (Louis IX Street), set in two restored Ottoman mansions. Rooms and suites in five categories, a 400-year-old Turkish hammam, a couples spa room, a wine bar in a Crusader-era cellar and a rooftop overlooking the sea. Check-in from 15:00, check-out by 12:00, public parking about 200 m away. Best suited to couples.
