The hotel is located between the Baha’i Gardens and the German Colony, founded by the Templars in 1868. At the beginning of World War II, the Templar residents were transferred to concentration camps, and later expelled from the country, leaving behind their homes. Today, the ancient stone houses that have been preserved, serve as cafes, restaurants, galleries and souvenir shops. Thanks to the picturesque feeling of a European town in the heart of downtown Haifa, they attract many partygoers from the city and beyond. The main axis of the German colony, Ben Gurion Boulevard, crosses it along its length. At the end of the Boulevard is the lower entrance to the Baha’i Gardens.
