Fodor's Expert Review St. Gabriel

High on the ridge that overlooks Nazareth, this hotel began life as a convent—hence the charming neo-Gothic church still in use on the property today. Renovations transformed the former nuns' cells into comfortably sized guest rooms, and many enjoy some of the city's greatest views. The reception area is furnished with inlaid tables, chairs, and mirrors in the old Damascene style, and the dining room prides itself on its local dishes. The garden and view are perfect for unwinding at sundown.
