This hotel is steeped in history and the ambiance of its' earlier life lingers in the delicately decorated stonework, courtyard and stone arches. It was built by an Assyrian family from Mosul who paid a gold coin for each stone carved and decorated. Between 1915 and 1930 the mansion house was used as a military headquarters, in 2004 it was restored and in 2011 opened its doors to guests. The decor is comparatively simple giving more emphasis to the beautiful stonework. Guests can choose to relax on the terrace and take breakfast in the courtyard, weather permitting, alternatively there is an indoor bar and restaurant. Wi-Fi access is available in the hotel and room and laundry service can be provided for an additional fee.
