UPDATE
Mamilla Hotel Joins Design Hotels
The Mamilla Hotel, Jerusalem has signed an agreement with the Design
Hotels Group to become its first member in Israel, reports David Tucker,
assistant manager sales & marketing for the David Citadel and the Mamilla
hotels, both of which are owned and managed by Alrov Hotels. The agreement
was based on a memorandum of understanding that had been signed last
December at the ILTM, Cannes (France), the International Luxury Travel
Market. “ILTM is an annual business to business fair and our aim in exhibiting
was to showcase the Mamilla before luxury travel professionals,” Tucker says.
“We were the only hotel in Israel to exhibit there.”
“From the outset our goal was to bring to Jerusalem a truly modern, worldclass
hotel that would be adopted and enjoyed by a global, well-traveled
audience, added Alrov Luxury Hotels Managing Director Georgi Akirov. “In
Design Hotels we have found a partner with many shared values and we are
thrilled to be working together.”

of the magazine, it is based on anonymous hotel reviews from experts across
the world, who heed the magazine’s “Truth in Travel” policy by paying
room rates and not accepting “freebies.”
