On the summit of Mount Canaan, where the clear mountain air meets the forests of the Galilee and the horizon that opens to the Sea of Galilee and Mount Hermon, time seems to slow down. There is something about this landscape, the local stone, the Mediterranean vegetation, the scents of the pine and oak trees, and the cool breeze that accompanies almost all seasons, that invites you to stop, breathe, and reconnect with nature. It is no coincidence that the place was chosen to give birth to a Wellness hotel, one that seeks to offer not only hospitality, but an experience of relaxation and rejuvenation, the Canaan Hotel from the Fattal Hotel chain.

For architect Efrat Kissos, this was the starting point for the entire design process. Long before choosing materials, colors, and details, the question was how to translate the unique character of Mount Canaan into an architectural space. How to create a place that feels like it has always been here, one that is born from the landscape, uses natural materials and local language, and allows guests to experience the silence, light, and air of the Galilee even when they are inside the building itself.
But alongside all of this stood another significant challenge: the building that was intended to become a hotel was previously an institutional building for a health insurance company. The mission was clear: to erase every trace of its functional past and create in its place a new world, one that succeeds in connecting nature, design, and the soul.
To solve the challenge, Kisos chose to delve into the depths of local identity, using the pages of Hebrew literature as a conceptual compass. “I have always been guided by Israeli writers like Meir Shalev, and the way they look at connection to the land and place,” she shares.This thought is summed up for her in a paragraph from his book. Dove and boy:
“When you find the new place,” my mother instructed me, “check it morning and evening, at different times and seasons.” You need to examine the fan of sounds and smells, she explained. Measure the rise of heat in the roof and the creeping of cold from the walls, draw the schedules of sunset and sunrise, the sundials and wind chimes of the windows.
This conceptual breakthrough – the meticulous search for the moment when earth, matter, spirit and memory connect – has been translated into a tangible architectural language that balances clean contemporaneity with deep-rooted traditional elements.The entire structure, located on top of Mount Canaan, now includes 119 rooms and suites, a spacious spa complex, restaurants, bars, and outdoor and indoor spaces, and is designed for adults only. For Kisos, this was much more than just another hotel project. “This is the most special project I’ve ever had, and I’ve been in the industry for many years,” she says..
The design starting point in the field was the frontal encounter between the skeleton of the existing building and the new atmosphere built around it.Alongside the desire to establish a hotel of international standards, it was important for Ivy to maintain a very local, almost rooted, appearance, one that acknowledges the past but does not remain in it.Some of the original elements were preserved and reincorporated into the design, including the exposed stone wall in the lobby, on top of which a library was designed and lighting was emphasized that highlights the original materiality of the building.“We brought in the woods, nature, colors, smells and natural materials,” she explains.“The antique wood came into the hotel, we used a lot of wood, and natural stone that came from a local quarry to match the specific look we were looking for.”
The hotel connects two buildings, old and new, but instead of emphasizing the gap between them, the design creates a uniform language that ranges between a sense of the past and contemporary and precise details.Along with natural wood flooring, soft textiles, furniture made from natural materials, brown and green tones, woodwork and contemporary Israeli art, design solutions were also incorporated that bring lightness and sophistication to the spaces.For example, in the bathrooms, mirrors were designed that are divided into three parts and rotate on an axis, in a way that allows the view to be opened to the Galilee landscape from within the bathroom, and also to ventilate the space.The result is neither nostalgic nor rustic in the direct sense, but rather a balance between a place with a memory and a clean, updated design.“People who have stayed have told me that along with the old-fashioned feel, with the wood and stone, the hotel is also very modern,” says Kisos. “And that’s something I love. We’ve managed to balance contemporary with traditional elements.”
The exterior was also designed as an integral part of the experience of disconnection and slowing down. From the impressive iron gate at the entrance, through the stone paths, pergolas and the yoga room that blends into the woods, to the hot tubs overlooking a 360-degree panoramic view – everything is aimed at creating a quieter and slower world. “The view plays a central role here,” concludes Kisos. “Every spot outside is another seating area that allows you to take a break, to be together or alone.” As an integral part of this hospitality concept, which seeks to connect the guest to the environment, the motif of fire was incorporated throughout the hotel. Many fire corners and fireplaces were scattered both in the suites and in the public areas, with the desire to create an intimate and attractive element. “Fire is an animalistic and primary motif,” explains Kisos. “It brings people together around it, everyone wants to get to it, and there is an almost divine feeling and experience when the fire is lit in the evening in all corners of the hotel.”
To translate this atmospheric and conceptual vision down to the bolt level, leading brands and suppliers from Israel and around the world were selected for the project. Each of them was called upon to cast another layer of material, technology, comfort and quality, and to transform the initial cracking idea into an accurate material reality on the ground:
In a project where some of the original materials were preserved and some were redesigned, the tile and cladding work required exceptional precision. Dor and Tzuri They provided the tiles and cladding for the project, constantly adapting to what already existed on site. “There were original elements that we left as they were, such as the stone flooring, which we had to blend in with,” says Kisos. “They came to the site time and time again to check what was there and adapt the element to it.” In the bathrooms, the architect sought to create more uniform and modern surfaces, between the marble, the wall thickness, and the prominent sink. “With Dor and Tzouri, we were able to find the specific sink, with the right shade and the precise protrusion that allowed us to achieve the result we were looking for,” she says. “They checked with us every sanitary item and every tile, and reinvented the wheel each time for the project.”
To translate the fire motif and the initial experience that the architect dreamed of into on-site solutions, nine fireplaces from the company were incorporated into the project. OrtalThese were placed at strategic key points: a four-meter-long custom fireplace located in the lobby with air blowers, an oval fireplace floating in the spa space, six electric fireplaces in the guest rooms and an outdoor fireplace with Wilderness technology, where the fire comes out of ceramic logs that simulate tree trunks. Beyond the unique technological solution, the fireplaces create that sought-after layer of warmth, intimacy and a gathering atmosphere. “The weather in Safed is crazy and cold in the evening,” notes Kisos, “but the fireplaces create a pleasant atmosphere and allow guests to go outside with a glass of good wine and enjoy the surroundings even in the evening.”
The escort of Carmel Business It allowed for different solutions to be adapted to each area of the hotel, selected in accordance with the design language built around the nature of the Galilee. The work included customized development and production, the integration of quality brands, and professional guidance from the planning stage to the execution, so that each material choice received an accurate response on both an aesthetic and a practical level. Since the hotel seeks to reflect the seasons, the forest, the earth, and the sense of calm of the place, soft, natural, and durable materials were chosen, but with a presence. The wine bar incorporated glossy Hamra tiles, interior flooring, and natural wood parquet, which continue the connection to the earth and the warm tones of the area. Handmade Forest carpets in natural tones were chosen in the rooms, adding a quiet layer of texture and softness, and in the corridors, custom-made wall-to-wall tiles and handmade Ziegler carpets were incorporated, which give the movement in the hotel a more intimate feel. The spa selected materials suitable for wet spaces, including SPC parquet and Marzi porcelain around the jacuzzi areas, with an emphasis on quality, durability and increased roughness. Thus, through the floor, tiles and textiles, an additional layer of material was built that strengthens the connection between the hotel and the landscape, the forest and the Galilean atmosphere surrounding it.
In the bathrooms, spa, suites and outdoor showers, products were selected GROHE As part of a concept that combines design, quality, reliability and user experience. The choice of the brand allowed the architect to work with a variety of durable PVD finishes, which create a deeper and richer appearance than regular paint, and suit the luxurious and natural language of the hotel. Alongside the appearance, the emphasis was also on operational silence for the contractor and the hotel, with reliable products, manufacturer’s warranty and a professional service system. For guests, GROHE technologies are expressed in a precise and pleasant bathing experience, controlled water flow, quiet flushing tanks and an overall feeling of comfort. Similarly, the sanitary details, which seem to be in the background, become part of the complete experience of a hotel that seeks to be precise in every touch, every material and every moment of stay.
The sleeping experience at the Canaan Hotel is an integral part of the place’s wellness concept. Aminoach, a long-standing Israeli company operating since 1948, provided the hotel with luxury sleeping systems and mattresses adapted to the world of hospitality. The mattresses, manufactured in the company’s factories in Nir Zvi, combine advanced materials such as Visco, Cool Visco and latex, and are designed to provide a feeling of softness, support and comfort throughout the night. Premium pillows were also incorporated alongside the mattresses, complementing the feeling of pampering and relaxation. In a hotel that seeks to slow down the pace and restore guests to a connection between body and mind, the bed is not just a functional item, but a central part of the experience of renewal the next morning.
Nigga Chef They were responsible for the kitchen, bar and restaurant systems at the hotel, in a project in which each culinary space was required to provide a different solution. The pool bar was designed as a compact element open in two directions, serving both the outdoor area and the interior of the hotel, while meeting strict standards and preserving the pool area. The dining room required a restaurant feel, with marble countertops and rounded corners, while a warm and intimate bar was created in the lobby, almost like a friends’ club, with a tabon and smells that envelop the space. One of the main challenges was in a restaurant that operates in a small and precise space. “The client asked to design an active restaurant, with the chef working in front of you,” says Kisos. “Niga Chef had to fit everything into this small space, and it was a great success.”
