Fodor's Expert Review Crowne Plaza Haifa

Catering to a business crowd, this modern, well-designed chain hotel is built into a pine-shaded slope. The glass-domed lobby, with mauve and silver couches set off by floral arrangements, opens onto a restaurant that has spectacular views and serves Moroccan dishes. The executive floor has a fully equipped and well-stocked 24-hour business lounge and billiards room. Half the rooms, which have wooden furniture and soothing tones, have gorgeous bay views, especially the ones on the sixth floor with balconies.
