Recommended Accommodation

Akotika Boutique Hotel

Tamar and Meir Davidson came to Akko and fell in love with the Old City - with the ancient buildings, the impressive wall surrounding it, the authentic markets and the friendly people of the city. Inspired by their trips to Nepal, India and Southern Italy, they decided to develop local eco-urban tourism, combining the authentic experience of being hosted in luxurious and modern rooms with the human and cultural fabric of the Old City.

Arabesque – Boutique Hotel & Artists’ Residence

Arabesque is a boutique hotel and artists' residence located in the heart of the old city in a spectacularly beautiful Ottoman building. When Professor Evan Fallenberg, writer and translator, founded Arabesque, he saw in his vision a home for artists, people of culture and spirit, a house of connections and community. The dream became reality and today Arabesque hosts a diverse crowd of Israelis and tourists from all over the world, alongside creators from various fields of art who come to the "Residency", an artist program, which allows them to devote themselves to their work and develop it in the heart of ancient Akko full of magic and inspiration.
