From the fusion of the old and the new, Melisende Oasis is born. A hotel nestled in the old town of the Israeli city of Akko, a Unesco World Heritage Site, where the perfect balance between tradition and modernity is achieved.
As a result of a complex process of renovation, conservation and restoration, this exclusive Mediterranean-style hotel emerges with unique stays where the Microdeck microcement from Topciment® in Ivory colour has been used as a decorative coating on walls and ceiling. A building with 500 years of history that has been converted into a most unique hotel.
The design is an ode to relaxation and enjoyment but, above all, to the local history of the place. The best proof of this are the impressive Ottoman arches and structures that are preserved and make a direct connection with the past.
