| HaGoshrim Kibbutz & Resort Hotel in Kiryat Shmona, Israel |
Located on the ruins site of Emir Fa'ur 's winter palace (the Emir controlled the northern Hula Valley in the days of the Ottoman Empire), in the Galilee Hills a few miles from the Lebanon border, this simple but comfortable hotel lies in the center of a valley facing the Golan Heights and the snows of Mount Hermon. It combines ancient and modern architecture with a pastoral landscape, splendid views, and crystal-clear air.
Facilities include two swimming-pools (outdoor and indoor), sauna, Jacuzzi, gym, basketball court, squash court, and spa. Guests can visit the property’s flour mill, horsetail plant reserve, and nature reserve with springs, babbling streams, and the tributaries of the Jordan River, and a tractor-drawn wagon tour of the kibbutz is offered in spring and summer. A mini zoo on a Dan River tributary is home to a variety of birds and animals.
The hotel is kosher and has a synagogue. An expansive breakfast buffet is served in the lobby restaurant, and the fish-and-cheeses Gosh Restaurant on the banks of the Koren Stream flowing just below the hotel serves a refined cuisine.
