Constructed on the ruins of the 20^th-century French Custom House, Pereh Mountain Resort redefines boutique hotels through innovative approaches to leisure, nature and gastronomy. Maintaining the original edifices of the building, interior designers Dannah Leitersdorf and Tamara Glaser designed each of the indoor spaces throughout the resort, utilizing mostly local, natural resources like mineral plaster and the native basalt stone. Restoring the rooms and suites to look like the original structures, the spaces include centuries-old wooden floors, high ceilings and rounded stone walls.

Unique to Pereh Mountain Resort is its wine cellar, boasting the best of local wines from the Galilee and Golan Heights region. The cellar also includes an in-house wine label bottled exclusively at the property.
