Haifa, Israel

Overlooking Haifa Bay, Zikaron Park, and Carmel Mountain is the Bay Club Hotel, a restored landmark dating back to 1912. Evoking the aesthetic of 1930s Mediterranean panache, the art deco lounge and public library offer a peaceful respite within the most classic of settings. 52 tasteful rooms are styled with art deco furnishings in calming neutral hues and blues tones, reflective of the harbour’s waters, with charming prints that perfectly embody the essence of the era. There's a buffet restaurant, a gym and a serene garden with a pond, and a formal lounge with a fireplace.
