"Too good to be true - imagine dishes such as excellent, meaty white grouper, carpaccio in pomegranate sauce, whole seared calamari with asparagus, and divine Portobello mushrooms in mint sauce.... Our reporter took part in an amazing dinner held in the Tiberias Scots Hotel's wine cellar.” (2eat / Adva Gan Stav)

"I wanted to ask you if it was really that bad in Tiberias of 1884. I read on one of the walls that that was when you arrived here as the head of a delegation of the Scottish Church. I understand that the sanitation and disease touched your heart, so you built a hospital that is now the best hotel in the country. They have excellent mattresses in the rooms and a nice selection of whisky in the bar... nothing in the buffet reminds you of the taste of those of other hotels…" (Israel Today / Hilla Alpert )

"I recommend the Scottish festival during May at the Scots Hotel in Tiberias. If you are looking for an unusual vacation in Israel, a class of its own, with European ambience, the Scots Hotel at the North of the Sea of Galilee is the place. This month you can enjoy a festival with Scottish food, fine whisky, music, dancing and a traditional Viking fire ritual much like the last ancient days in Scotland. (Yedioth Ahronoth 24 hours / Actor Singer Dan Toren)
"Orit Wiesel - beautician and owner of the beauty portal Bbeauty: When I feel like a short jump abroad and I don't have the time, the Scots Hotel is a great option for staying in Israel and feeling in a completely different country. As you enter you immediately feel you are overseas. Whoever likes good food, good wine, hotel luxuries and lots of tranquillity, will most definitely find them here. I am a hotel freak and have certainly stayed at many magnificent places, but this place is one of a kind. It is not cheap and the food is not kosher, but it is worth every shekel, and every minute spent here is pure pleasure for body and soul. When you need a time-out from life, this is the place to go to." (Atmosphere / Avigail Lapin)
"Like any 5 star hotel, the buffet in the Scots Hotel's dining room has abundant treats, the rich selection of desserts receives our sixth star." (Alma)

"You go up the stairs from a picturesque street to the hotel's garden and at that moment your eyes open wide and a cry of admiration comes out of your mouth. Is this the most beautiful place in the country? Surely, it is a close contender for the top three" (Yedioth Ahronoth 7 days / Nira Rousso)
"Staying at the Scots Hotel is not like staying at any other hotel in the country... It is something else, completely different... The Scots Hotel is a wonderful royal pearl... Its distinct characteristics are beauty, tranquillity, quality, prestige and a strong sense of the past as is felt after staying at the ancient hotels of Spain, the Paradors. It begins with the unique look of the basalt hotel building, continues with its elegant design, and includes the courteous and luxurious service. The beauty of the hotel, the romance which is always in the air, the magnificent gardens surrounding it and the aristocratic ambience, invite you to celebrate marriage proposals, wedding nights, wedding anniversaries, new romances, birthdays and other significant events". (Even Shoham) "All this beauty gives you a feeling of something else." (Yedioth Ahronoth 24 hours / Musician Uri Miles )
"The Scots Hotel in Tiberias serves a special overseas brunch every weekend ... it is a royal meal consisting of unusual combinations from a non-kosher kitchen; non-Israeli flavours which maybe, but only maybe, bear a connection to Scottish British cuisine." (Glitter / Leah Etgar)"From the moment I set foot in the estate named the Scots Hotel, I was engulfed by the tranquillity and pastoral of the place... putting aside the burdens of life and becoming addicted to pure pleasure and breath-taking scenery..." (Derech HaOchel / Tal Levine) "If you have not yet visited the original, you can make do for now with its embassy in Tiberias, the food there is great" (Ha'aretz Shamenet Magazine / Aya Bartenstein) "Scotland on the Loch of Galilee" (The Jerusalem Post / Wendy Blumenfeld ) |
