Beit Immanuel

Beit Immanuel is a two-story guest house in the American-German Colony neighborhood with private rooms, shared dormitory options, and garden space featuring a very old banyan tree. The building itself reflects the architecture and design of the colonial period when it was first built.

The building was established in 1866 and originally served as the Baron's Palace and the main hotel in Jaffa, where Kaiser Wilhelm II stayed during a regional visit. This location became an important center during the growth of European settlements in the area.

The Heritage Centre inside tells the story of the American and German communities who built this neighborhood in the 1800s. You can see how these groups shaped the area through old photographs and cultural artifacts.

The guest house sits about five minutes walk from Mediterranean beaches and ten minutes walk from Old Jaffa, with free wireless internet and breakfast included. This location makes it easy to explore the surrounding neighborhoods on foot.

The grounds once housed one of the region's first botanical gardens with exotic animals like monkeys and parrots kept on site. This early collection showed the ambitions of the colonial residents to create something special in a new land.
