The hotel has an elegant and very quiet lobby, and a garden and outdoor pool area overlooking the city. It caters to a mostly business clientele during the week and families during the holidays, but it also is used by upscale tour operators for groups. The property s La Rondo restaurant, serving continental cuisine, provides spectacular views of Haifa. Balconies in all rooms have views of Carmel and the sea, or the harbor and the sea. Dan Carmel also affords an excellent jumping-off point for visits across the bay to the Israeli Arab city of Akko, site of the Citadel prison used by the British to imprison Israeli underground leaders in 1946.
Some rooms now have kitchens with cooking facilities.
The 13-year old hotel also is connected to an indoor public shopping mall. Like the neighboring Dan Carmel, Dan Panorama is just steps from the Bahai Gardens. This property is a good choice for business travelers visiting Haifa, or can be used as a base for individual tourists or tour groups visiting sites in Northern Israel. This boutique hotel, built in 1997, offers a unique location directly across the street from the Old City of Jerusalem and the Jaffa Gate. Some of the propert s 30 suites provide living and dining room facilities with spectacular views of the Old City.
