About Arabesque Hotel

The building is almost 300 years old, although it also has building stones that are a thousand years old, dating back to the time of the Crusaders, and it includes two large halls – one of which has a small grand piano – and a chef’s kitchen for events; pleasant courtyards with a purity fountain that makes soothing splashing sounds; And seven rooms rich in unique elements, including high ceiling, original stone walls, tiled floors, antique furniture and works of art. In all rooms you will also enjoy all the comforts of a modern hotel (TV, air conditioning, comfortable furniture, kitchenette).

Hotel History

Arabesque was inaugurated in April 2016, and occupies two beautifully restored and lovingly renovated Ottoman buildings, in the heart of ancient Acre on the northern coast of Israel. The hotel was founded by Evan Fallenberg and and his son Micha, with a vision to bring a new spirit to Acre and to be part of the neighborhood landscape of the city. They saw the ideal and importance of partnership from the beginning of the project. The hotel is located right in the center of the old city, less than a five-minute walk from all the main points of interest – the market, the knights’ halls, the Templars’ tunnel, the Al-Jazar mosque, the Turkish bath, the port area and the other tourist sites of Acre. At all hours of the day, visitors can stroll through the beautiful winding alleys and even on the city walls, you are invited to lose your way and discover magical and hidden corners. Wherever you go, you’ll always be a few minutes’ walk from the hotel door, and thanks to Arabesque’s central location, you’ll feel right at home in the neighborhood.

Our vision

Arabesque is a magical and unique place to spend a few nights (and days) while on vacation in Acre, but it is also much more than just another small boutique hotel. Arabesque’s mission is to serve the local community and provide a space for cultural events; promote the local talents and hold music, literature, art and culinary events; promote local artists, from Israel and from all over the globe, and give them a peaceful place to complete their artistic projects; And also to host private events of all kinds, out of a desire to foster dialogue through art. The population in the old city of Acre – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is mostly Muslim, but the project itself is the fruit of the joint labor of Muslims, Christians and Jews alike. For us in Arabesque, art and culture are a unifying factor, also – and perhaps mainly – in a region full of disputes like the Middle East.
