Where to stay Akotika: a luxury boutique hotel in the heart of the Old City

Akotika offers a hospitality experience like no other. It’s incredible Old City location, beautifully restored historic structures, luxurious interiors, create an atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else. The hotel isn’t, in fact, concentrated in one single building, but spread across several structures. All in all, there are 22 spacious rooms and suites, with high ceilings and an elegant interior design that blends natural materials, wood and stone, with soft earthen tones with touches of white, and modern, luxurious furnishings. Some rooms look out onto the Mediterranean, others are nestled inside the quiet hotel patio, one has a sculpture-like

basalt stone bathtub in its center – but whichever one you choose to stay in, you’re guaranteed high quality pampering and relaxation. Breakfast is served in the beautiful Akotika rooftop space - also the ideal spot for a cocktail at sundown, (though keep in mind you need to climb 20 steep steps to get there). The hotel has recently also inaugurated a wine bar on the lobby floor, offering an impressive selection of wines and alcoholic beverages. Akotika is a special place, one that provides a unique combination of authentic Akko Old City vibes, and a highly sophisticated contemporary hospitality experience. akotika.co.il
