Fattal Hotels adds to Israeli portfolio with new Tel Aviv property

Fattal Hotels, an Israeli hotel group headed up by David Fattal, is making headlines because of a new venture they are pursuing in the bustling metropolis of Tel Aviv.

Known for its beaches and nightlife, Tel Aviv is just one of the destinations in which Fattal Hotels operates in Israel, and it is planning on adding another property to its existing roster of 40 hotels in its home territory.

Assaf Fattal, the company’s business manager responsible for the construction of the chain’s new hotels, spoke about the project saying: “This is an urban and unique product in a very attractive location. The new hotels will provide a solution for tourists coming to Tel Aviv for leisure and business purposes, and for Israelis seeking an urban vacation in a boutique hotel close to all points of interest in the city of Tel Aviv.”

Kabbalah and history in Tel Aviv

The new hotel will be in a historic building which is part of Tel Aviv’s UNESCO listed White City. The Bauhaus-inspired building was designed in 1937 by architect Joseph Neufeld and was used by a pharmaceutical company before being acquired by The Kabbalah Centre in 1995 as a study school.

Fattal Hotels will be investing NIS 50 million (about $14 million) into transforming the centre into a luxury boutique hotel, which is slated to open in two years. The new property will be Fattal’s eighth hotel in Tel Aviv and they have a 24.5-year lease on the building.

The property will boast 90 rooms spread over nearly 4000m2 and will be named The Kabala Centre. The design will be a collaborative effort between Feigin Architects firm and interior architect Ari Shaltiel.
