Travelers planning their next visit to Israel will find a refreshed sense of leadership at some of the country’s most popular accommodations. Fattal Hotels, the nation’s leading hospitality group, has announced a significant wave of appointments, placing highly experienced female executives at the helm of key properties and operations. This strategic move aims to elevate the guest experience by bringing seasoned expertise to several high-profile hotels, ensuring that international visitors receive the world-class service and local warmth for which the brand is known.
In the heart of Jerusalem, the newly opened Nucha Hotel is set to thrive under the guidance of Miri Levy-Ezra. A veteran of the Israeli hotel industry, Levy-Ezra brings a wealth of knowledge from her time at the iconic King David Hotel and her experience in establishing and managing boutique properties in the capital. Joining her in Jerusalem is Gili Idan, who takes over as the CEO of Leonardo Jerusalem. Idan’s impressive resume includes leading major properties across the Galilee and Tel Aviv, ensuring that guests at these Jerusalem landmarks are in the hands of professionals who understand the unique needs of international tourism.
The coastal and business hubs are also seeing fresh perspectives with the appointment of Elia Caspi as the CEO of NYX Herzliya. Caspi joins the Fattal family after holding senior leadership roles at high-end lifestyle hotels in Tel Aviv, bringing a modern, organizational-focused approach to one of Herzliya’s most stylish properties. Meanwhile, Keren Koren has been appointed to lead the Leonardo Boutique Rehovot. Koren is a prime example of the brand’s commitment to internal growth, having risen through the ranks over two decades and graduating from the company’s prestigious CEO Reserve program, which cultivates the next generation of hospitality leaders.
Beyond individual hotels, the chain is also focusing on the very first step of the traveler’s journey—the booking process. Gladys Scherer, another graduate of the internal leadership program with a decade of experience in hotel operations, has been named the Manager of the Resort Reservations Center. Her appointment is designed to streamline the guest experience from the moment a room is booked until the final checkout, ensuring that the logistics of a vacation in Israel are as smooth and welcoming as the stay itself.
These appointments reflect a broader commitment by Fattal Hotels to excellence, diversity, and professional innovation. By placing such capable leaders at the forefront of their operations, the chain is reinforcing its promise to provide top-tier hospitality across all of Israel’s diverse landscapes. Whether visitors are seeking a boutique experience in the tech corridors of Rehovot or a luxury stay in the historic center of Jerusalem, these new leaders are dedicated to making every stay an unforgettable part of the Israeli adventure.
