Step Back in Time at the Scots Hotel Tiberias
The Scots Hotel is a Tiberias landmark that stands out above the city overlooking the Sea of Galilee. The hotel is housed in the historic Scottish Mission Hospital, which was built in 1894. In 1999 it was completely renovated and opened in 2004 as a luxury spa and wellness hotel by the Church of Scotland. The authentic character of the original basalt stone building has been maintained while modern amenities have been added. The interior decoration will take you back to the colonial era, with its warm comfortable ambiance. The guests are waited on by attentive staff, and the service matches the hotel’s 5-star status. The Scot’s spa facilities include a traditional Turkish Hammam and a wide range of health and wellness treatments.
