Visitors can even find overnight accommodations boasting a long backstory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">It\u2019s not hard to find Israeli hotels or inns housed in renovated 19th century Ottoman buildings, such as the Austrian Hospice (1858) in Jerusalem; the Scots Hotel (1894) in Tiberias or 1885 Suites in Rosh Pina, named for the year it was built.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">But there are also older buildings now being used for hotels. Here, ISRAEL21c focuses on hotels built in \u2013 or on the ruins of \u2013 buildings originally constructed in the 18th century and earlier.
