Panorama Towers, Twin residential towers in Haifa, Israel.
Panorama Towers are a pair of skyscrapers in the Carmel Center of Haifa: a 24-floor, 88-meter residential tower, the tallest residential building in the city, and the 23-floor, 85-meter Dan Panorama Hotel, the city's tallest hotel. A shopping center with cafes and fashion stores links the two towers and connects to the Carmel Center by a pedestrian bridge.
Panorama Towers were designed by architects Shlomo Gilad and Yechiel Komt and built between 1980 and 1986 on the site of a German guesthouse that stood there before Israel's founding, part of the so-called German Carmel. Until the Mifraz Tower rose in 2002, they were Haifa's second-tallest skyscrapers after the University of Haifa's Eshkol Tower.
The towers stand on the site of a German guesthouse from before Israel's founding, part of the so-called German Carmel. Between them a shopping center with cafes and fashion shops links to the Carmel Center by a pedestrian bridge; its cinemas closed in 2009. A second-floor viewing balcony looks over Haifa Bay and connects to the Louis Promenade toward the Bahai Gardens.
The towers sit beside major roads making them easy to reach by car or bus from most of the city. Nearby shops and restaurants are within walking distance for anyone visiting the area.
The towers sit on the Carmel ridge, whose line they visibly break, so on clear days they can be made out from about 100 km away; until the Mifraz Tower rose in 2002 they were Haifa's second-tallest skyscrapers after the Eshkol Tower. Their site was occupied before 1948 by a German guesthouse at 101 President Avenue, part of the "German Carmel".
