The Scots Hotel skillfully combines the charm of historic walls with ultra-modern living comfort. The hotel, which once served as a hospital, was opened by the Church of Scotland in 2004, breathing new life into the historic 19th-century basalt building. Even during the planning stage, great importance was attached to preserving the original character of the complex by creating a synergy between old and new. Enjoy the comfort of a 5-star hotel in a stylish ambience. Some of the tastefully furnished rooms offer a magnificent view of the lake.
Surrounded by the green gardens of Galilee, the gentle Sea of Galilee, and the impressive Golan Heights, the luxurious Health Center at The Scots Hotel welcomes you. Here, too, the historic walls envelop you in the aura of the 19th century, paired with the state-of-the-art and exquisite treatments and therapies of our time. Let yourself be pampered in this peaceful and unique environment and immerse yourself in the very special atmosphere of the hotel and the region. Once you have relaxed enough, you can take a short walk to one of the beautiful beaches of Lake Tiberias or delve deeper into the history of the place – for example, by visiting the excavation site of the nearby Crusader castle or the Berko Archaeological Park.
The Scots Hotel offers a selection of rooms to suit your taste: if you would like to experience the history of the region in your private quarters, you can choose one of the 16 Antique Rooms. Here, luxury meets the spirit of the 19th century. Some of the guest rooms are located in the building that once served as the home of pioneer Dr. David Watt Torrance, while the remaining rooms are located in the former nursing school. High ceilings, tranquility, spaciousness, and basalt walls are common to all of them. The Deluxe and Unique Rooms are located in the modern part of the building. They are furnished in Scottish style and offer all the amenities of modern facilities.
Three culinary worlds come together at Torrence Restaurant: elements of classic Israeli cuisine are combined with regional specialties from Galilee – and rounded off with a pinch of Scottish influence. The restaurant's chef regularly revises the menu, always creating new delights with little surprises. In the Saint Urban Wine Cellar & Bar, you can taste a hand-picked selection of the best wines from northern Israel in a very special atmosphere, accompanied by small seasonal dishes. Finally, the Ceilidh Bar offers a treat for every lover of good whiskey: here you will find around 80 varieties of this aromatic drink, often accompanied by live music, workshops, and lots of information about whiskey.
Leave everyday life behind you at the beautifully situated swimming pool of The Scots Hotel. The lush gardens of the estate offer numerous places for you to retreat to. Nestled amid the magnificent gardens is the hotel's wonderful wellness center, where you can treat yourself to soothing treatments and massages. The hotel's cuisine is widely renowned for its exceptional range of culinary delights. Let yourself be enchanted by the most seductive smells and flavors you can imagine and indulge in perfect enjoyment with every meal.
