Arabesque comprises two beautifully restored and renovated Ottoman buildings in the ancient city of Akko on the northern Mediterranean coast of Israel. The property is owned by the father-and-son team of Evan and Micha Fallenberg, who manage Arabesque, and is staffed by locals.
Nearly 300 years old but with some stones dating back one thousand years to the Crusader period, Arabesque boasts two Great Halls – one with a baby grand piano – and chef’s kitchens for events; cozy courtyards and a trickling savil fountain; and seven rooms with unique features, like high vaulted ceilings, original stone walls, tile floors, antique furniture and artwork. All rooms have the amenities of a modern hotel room (TV, a/c, comfortable furnishings, a kitchenette).
Arabesque is situated in the very middle of the Old City and is less than a five minute walk to the shuk (market).
While Arabesque is a charming and unique place to spend a few nights and days in Acre, it is much more than just a small boutique hotel. It is our mission to have Arabesque serve the local community by making it a venue for cultural events; promote local talent, by hosting musical, literary, artistic and culinary events featuring local artists; welcome artists of all kinds from the city, the region and the world as they pursue artistic projects; and host private events of all kinds that promote dialogue through the arts.
