The Scots Hotel is easily the nicest property in Tiberias -- which isn't to say it is exceptionally luxurious. It's a perfectly pleasant four-pearl hotel with gorgeous, lush three-tiered grounds overlooking the sea. The historic building dates to 1894, when a Scottish surgeon constructed it to be a hospital, and some of the rooms in the historic section of old stone walls. Rooms in the modern section are big and serviceable if a bit plain. The breakfast buffet and dinner buffets, however, are both excellent, and the Scottish-themed Ceilidh Bar serves 80 types of whiskey. Features include a gym, a spa, and a pool, though the pool has to be accessed by an elevated walkway over the road. Guests should also note that though the water views are spectacular, there is no direct access to the sea.

Location
In Tiberias, right across from the Sea of Galilee
Tiberias draws most of its tourists because of the town's Christian history: This is where Jesus walked on water. Other Christian sights, such as the location of the loaves and fishes miracle and the spot where Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, are within driving distance. There is not much to the town itself, and many tourists come only for a single night.- Across the street from the Sea of Galilee
