The unique Europa Hotel welcomes you to step back into the early 20th Century and experience the crossroads of the Ottoman Empire, the British Mandate and the modern state of Israel. The hotel has been in this location in Tiberias since 1917. Heads of state were hosted here as it was relished for its style and beauty.

The hotel has been refurbished and modernized for 21st century guests while retaining the authentic architectural elements and the charm of the original period. The imposing building with its basalt rock façade, high arched windows and geometric tiled floors is a feast for the eyes, without compromising the up-to-date comforts of modern luxury hotels.

Tiberias can feel justifiably proud of the hotel, which is ideally located near the Sea of Galilee and a few minutes from the bustling town center.
Europa1917 is a kosher boutique spa resort serving breakfast and dinner under the hashgacha of the Rabbanut Tiberias.

Our visit to the Europa Hotel. A Personal Account. November 2016.
We spent Shabbat at the Europa Hotel with another adult couple. This was a great success and I will tell you why.
First, Europa is a kosher hotel where we felt comfortable observing shabbat. The hotel is small enough to get to most rooms without the elevator. The dining room is steps away and there is a shul on the ground floor with a guaranteed minyan every shabbat. The food was some of the best that we have ever had at any hotel on shabbat. Meals were buffet with a large selection. The pastry chef offers unique cakes, dairy and parve. The hours specified for the meals are somewhat flexible, enabling us to enjoy the breakfast after the morning davening, and the lunch several hours later. I cannot remember a more relaxing and enjoyable Shabbat away from home.

Europa is a hotel/museum of early 20th Century Tveria. Photos of Tveria and of the hotel at various periods, decorate the walls and the elevator. Much like a museum there are plaques that explain the history of the town. The hotel is tastefully decorated in period yet modern style. The floor tiles, fixtures, furnishings, all create the ambiance of another age.

Europa has just 30 rooms of varying sizes. We were in a Baron room with a lovely small porch. There are many larger rooms and rooms with larger porches. There are also garden rooms on the lower floor, family rooms, adjoining rooms and suites. The fitness room is adequate for the number of rooms but the pool is too small for swimming.

The hotel hosts a mix of guests, from hassidim to non-jewish tour groups. There is no check in on shabbat, retaining the atmosphere that makes this such an ideal location for Shabbat observance. The hotel is located on a hill above the boardwalk. It is a 3-4 block walk to the kinneret. Free parking in a lot across the street from the hotel.

Dining: Your reservation includes a generous buffet meat dinner with a variety of salads and hot main dishes, and a dairy breakfast with both cold salads and hot dishes the following morning.

Meals are served in the hotel's Victoria restaurant with Chef Uri Arnon. One of the top chef's in the Galilee, Uri is the owner and chef at the famous Arnold's restaurants in Netiv Hashayara (near Nahariya) and in Ramat Yishai. Born to an Iraqi mother and a Swiss father, Uri specializes in Balkan and Turkish dishes with a European twist. You will find traditional stews such as sofrito and ossobuco alongside fresh fish prepared with imagination and precision, as well as uncommonly good fresh salads reflecting the changing seasons. The hotel boasts its own wine cellar with hundreds of bottles of excellent wines.

Kashrut: Europa1917 hotel is under the hashgacha of Rabbanut Tiberias. There is an on-site mashgiach weekdays and a mashgiach on Shabbat. Food products have the Rabbanut hashgacha. Leafy vegetables are Gush Katif. Only mehdarin products at the breakfast. Mehadrin meat available upon request in advance. See the mashgiach kashrut for details. Ask for Rabbi Yosef Zeev.

Rooms: While preserving its original grandeur, the hotel has been renovated with modern amenities including LCD television, Wi-Fi, mini-bars and a variety of other treats and surprises. All rooms are doubles, for two people sharing. A limited number of rooms have a fold out sofa that can be used for up to one child.

There are garden suites and rooms with a view which overlooks Tiberias and its surrounding countryside. Each room at the hotel has its own character. The hotel offers three room types:
* The charming Knight room is the elegant double room without a porch.
* The Baron room, a double room with a porch.
* There is one suite at the hotel.

We recommend you visit the Fort Balcony, a sun roof offering spectacular views, including an 18th century fortress; and for those wishing to relax, ‘shanti corners’ with bean bags, comfortable cushions and porch swings.

Spa and Outdoor Pool: the Hotel Europa offers a stylish spa with a full treatment menu including a dry sauna.
