The HaGoshrim Hotel in Nature: A Timeless Journey in the Heart of the Hula Valley
Nestled amidst the lush beauty of the Hula Valley, the HaGoshrim Hotel in Nature offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Originally founded as the Relaxation House by Kibbutz HaGoshrim, this historic site has a rich heritage that dates back to the late 1930s when it was part of land once ruled by Emir Fa’ur, a Bedouin leader from the al-Fadil tribe during the Ottoman era.
In the early 1940s, Emir Fa’ur, facing financial challenges, sold the land and left. By 1944, youth movements from Turkey established a kibbutz, symbolizing a connection between the country and the Jewish diaspora.
In 1952, Kibbutz member Ora Weiss signed an agreement to transform the area into a relaxation house, opening its doors as a tranquil retreat in 1953. Housed in the abandoned palace of Emir Fa’ur, the hotel’s design beautifully integrates architectural features like the palace’s distinctive arches, giving guests a unique, immersive experience.
Visitors were immediately captivated by the peaceful surroundings, enjoying serene moments in deck chairs by the lush creek and cool waters—an experience that became the heart of the hotel’s charm.
As Kibbutz HaGoshrim expanded, so did the relaxation house, eventually becoming the iconic HaGoshrim Hotel in Nature. Today, the hotel continues to grow and evolve, welcoming guests from all over the world to experience its historic charm and the unparalleled natural beauty of the Hula Valley. Come and enjoy a piece of history, wrapped in the tranquility of nature.
