The north breathes again: Isrotel hotels reopen after the ceasefire

After long months of tourism paralysis in the north, additional signs of a return to normalcy are emerging: Following the reopening of several hotels in the region over the past two weeks, Isrotel announces the reopening of its three hotels in the Galilee and Carmel – a significant step in the recovery of the northern tourism industry.

Mitzpe Hayamim, which has been closed to the public since the beginning of the war, will reopen on January 16. The luxurious hotel in the Upper Galilee offers a unique experience in the heart of Galilean woodland, with blooming orchards, herb fields, and an organic farm providing fresh ingredients for the hotel's Farm to Table restaurant concept.

In Carmel, the Carmel Forest Lodge returns to host guests in the heart of the Carmel forests, offering a variety of spa treatments and rooms with views of the green landscape. At the same time, the Gomeh Hotel on the shores of the Sea of Galilee will resume operations on weekends and during Hanukkah, offering guests a family-friendly experience with views of the Sea of Galilee and Mount Arbel.

"We at Isrotel are proud to be part of the return of the northern tourism industry to full activity and contribute to creating jobs and encouraging local residents to return to normalcy as much as possible," said Benny Levy, Isrotel’s VP of Marketing and Sales. "The renewal trend in the northern tourism sector is a great opportunity to once again offer our guests unforgettable experiences. We are excited to return our hotels to full operation and invite our guests to return and enjoy the stunning nature of the north and the highest standard of hospitality."

The return to operation of Isrotel hotels comes at a time when Israelis are longing for the pastoral landscapes of the north and seeking ways to strengthen the region and the local businesses affected by the months of conflict.
