There’s really only four hotels in Haifa with a swimming pool… the three luxury hotels on top of Mount Carmel, and the Leonardo Plaza Hotel Haifa on the beach. On the plus side, staying at a luxury hotel in Haifa is considerably cheaper in Haifa than Tel Aviv.


You can also book hotels directly in Israel and around the world through Secret Tel Aviv’s Booking.com Platform, it will cost you the same, but you will be supporting the work we do at Secret Tel Aviv.


We’ve also created a ranking system based on ratings from other popular websites.
