By GlobalDataThe location of the hotel is strategically chosen, as it is nestled east of the railway, west of Hahashmonaim Street, and south of the Mishkenot Omanim neighbourhood.
The placement is expected to ensure accessibility and synergy with the surrounding attractions.
Shatit Group owner Shalom Shitrit said: “The hotel to be built will have a unique concept tailored for families in the EuroDisney style. The hotel will be adjacent to the zoo and Motzkin Theater, providing a different experience for families.
“We intend to collaborate with the theatre to bring special shows tailored for children. We like to pioneer things, like the hotel we opened in Tirat HaCarmel, a wellness and spa hotel, which faced challenges initially but is now one of the successful hotels in the country.
“Additionally, we’ll create added value in terms of revenue. Currently, there is no hotel in the area capable of hosting conferences and events, and we plan to establish all the facilities for businesses. The hotel will also include a pool and a dedicated spa, both for weekend parents and for businesspeople staying midweek.”
The Shatit Group’s vision for the hotel includes Disney characters in each room and thematic holograms in the lobby and staircases, creating an enchanting atmosphere akin to a children’s ‘kingdom’.
The hotel aims to provide an immersive experience for guests, particularly catering to the needs and imaginations of young visitors and their families.
Shitrit continued: “We continue the pioneering spirit of building the country, from north to south, as part of renewal and a vision for a better future. Especially in times of war, it is most important to create new things, joy, and hope for the future. “Children are our future, and I intend to build a hotel that will be a paradise for them and call it ‘Eden Park’.”
