Letter from the GM
The Inbal Jerusalem Hotel
Dear Friends,
While Jerusalem experienced a rather mild winter, we welcomed
February and March’s rains which provided much needed ‘heavenly’
nourishment for our city’s colorful plants and trees to once again bloom.
There is nothing like a walk through Liberty Bell Park, adjacent to the
Inbal where you can indulge your senses, feasting on and breathing in the
intoxicating ‘sights and smells’ of a Jerusalem spring.
During the past month, Jerusalem became a hotbed for a variety of "global
tourism" activities. The Inbal played host to a number of internationally
renowned experts in the fields of business, tourism and culture who
participated in the International Tourism Conference at the Jerusalem
Convention Center. One of the key participants was the internationally
renowned Director of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, James Snyder. You
can read an illuminating interview with him in this issue on the upgrade and
reopening of Israel’s most prestigious museum.
Other articles included in this issue, highlight the scrumptious scope
of Israel’s pastry industry, with tantalizing offerings from our own
Executive Head Chef, Moti Buchbut. Having recently joined the Inbal,
Moti brings to your ‘table’, a wealth of culinary experience and talent.
If you have a ‘sweet tooth’, you would be wise to submit to temptation and
indulge in his creative pastries and cakes.
Only an hour’s drive from your hotel is the lowest point on earth and with
your on-line vote together with a billion others, it could be chosen later this
year as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Yes, the Dead Sea is a
strong contender and you can read all about it in this issue of our magazine
on page 22.
As the upcoming Pesach/Spring holiday season provides a sense of physical
and spiritual renewal, I invite you to visit our friendly concierge about the
various religious and cultural attractions in our area.
I am looking forward to greeting you personally but for now, Chag Sameach.
Sincerely,
Bruno de Schuyter
General Manager
