Spread across eight dunams of private grounds in one of the wilder pockets of the Golan Heights, Pereh Hotel sits at Beit HaMechhes HaElyon, an adults-only boutique property that you do not stumble onto by accident. There is no commercial strip leading up to it, no through-traffic passing its gate. You choose Pereh Hotel because you are already looking for distance, quiet and an open view, and you are willing to drive a while to get them. That deliberateness is part of what the place is.
Where Pereh Hotel Sits in the Golan Heights
The hotel’s address, Beit HaMechhes HaElyon in the Golan Heights, does not tell you much on its own. What tells you more is the land itself: eight private dunams laid out in a wild area of the Golan, where the line between the hotel’s tended gardens and the open countryside beyond is almost impossible to draw. Open spaces, paths between the buildings, and cultivated gardens are built into the grounds for one purpose only, to give the eye somewhere to rest. Nobody comes here for a city center or a shopping street. They come for the fields, the clear air, and the sense that the phone can wait.
A French Customs House From 1919: The Buildings Behind the Hotel
The structure that Pereh Hotel now occupies was not built as a hotel. It is the original French customs house, constructed in 1919, and before it became guest rooms it served an entirely different purpose. Today the hotel is spread across four buildings and offers 27 rooms and suites, some inside the historic structure itself and some in buildings added around it over the years. Step into a room in the original building and it is hard to miss the 150-year-old wooden floors and the rounded fieldstone walls: these are not reproductions of the past, they are the original materials, under ceilings tall enough to remind you the building stood here long before it became a bedroom.
The Rooms and Suites at Pereh Hotel
With 27 rooms across four buildings, Pereh Hotel offers more range than the number alone suggests, and each category tells a slightly different story about the building it sits in.
- Bauhaus Superior: restored rooms inside the original 1919 customs house buildings, with 150-year-old wooden floors, rounded fieldstone walls and high ceilings.
- Garden Deluxe: a room in the garden and nature building, with a balcony overlooking a historic gallery and sunsets over the Galilee mountains and the Hula Valley.
- Poolview Deluxe: a room with direct pool access from the private balcony, for couples who prefer the shortest possible distance from bed to water.
- Bauhaus Studio Suite: a suite in the original 1919 building, with high ceilings, stone walls, a garden terrace and a spacious bathroom.
- Bauhaus One Bedroom Suite: a suite with a living room, one bedroom, and a large garden terrace holding a round outdoor bathtub for two.
- Pereh Loft Suite: a suite in the original French customs house, with a living room, bedroom, a generous bathroom and a private rooftop terrace with its own outdoor bathtub.
Restaurant Roz’ and the Pampering Around the Room
The hotel’s chef restaurant is called Roz’, and its menu is built on local, seasonal ingredients from the fields and farms of the Golan: vegetable and meat dishes, artisanal cheeses, Syrian olives and fresh, high-quality meat, all presented in a considered, sophisticated way rather than as anything routine. Beyond the table, there is little reason to leave the grounds: a wine cellar, an infinity pool, a jacuzzi, a dry sauna, a spa, a snooker room and a well-equipped gym are all included for hotel guests at no additional charge. Free, unlimited Wi-Fi runs throughout, and private meeting rooms plus a private lounge are on hand for anyone who arrives with a little work still in their bag.
Adults Only: Who Pereh Hotel Keeps Quiet For
Pereh Hotel is an adults-only property, and that is not a footnote but part of the character of the place: the quiet around the pool, the open loft rooms, the rooftop outdoor bathtubs, all of it is built around the idea that the stay here is for couples. That said, the hotel reserves the right to host children aged 0 to 18 on holidays and dates it selects in advance, so it is worth checking directly with the hotel if your dates fall on one of them. Check-in is from 15:00, and from 17:00 on Saturdays; check-out is by 11:00, and by 13:00 on Saturdays and holidays. The hotel does not hold a kosher certificate, and payment is made at the hotel itself, with a credit card taken for security purposes only.
Who Pereh Hotel Is For
Who is Pereh Hotel for? For couples looking for genuine quiet, not just a word on a sign; for anyone who wants an evening at a table that takes what grows in the Golan seriously; and for anyone who does not mind the extra drive to reach a place where a century-old customs house has become a bedroom, and a rooftop bathtub is simply part of the room rather than an add-on. If that sounds like the getaway you are after, the rest is just a matter of picking a date.
