Israel’s First Luxury Hotel Joins 10 Other Dan Hotels Already Represented
SCOTTSDALE, DALLAS and LONDON (February 1, 2010) – Israel’s first luxury hotel, the Dan Tel Aviv, has switched to Utell Hotels & Resorts to be the provider of choice for worldwide marketing, sales and representation. The move not only expands Utell’s impressive international hotel portfolio of more than 11,000 hotels, but it also marks the eleventh property from Dan Hotels, Israel’s largest luxury hotel chain, to join the representation service.
A celebrity haunt that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, the Dan Tel Aviv attracts both international leisure and business travelers. The hotel is noted for its elegant appointments, premier seaside location near the city’s business center, fine cuisine, and popularity among statesman and celebrities since opening in 1953. In 2009 alone, the Dan Tel Aviv welcomed Paul McCartney, Madonna, Quentin Tarantino, Al Gore and Tony Blair, among others. The property’s wide appeal makes it an ideal member of Utell’s international portfolio, according to Rafi Baeri, vice president of marketing and sales for Dan Hotels.
“More than 30 percent of our guests are returning visitors who appreciate the superior level of hospitality and individual care we give at the Dan Tel Aviv,” said Baeri. “Utell brings this same reputation to their work with hotels, which is why we’ve switched to them for their comprehensive range of global representation sales and marketing support for yet another property in the Dan Hotels portfolio. Their ability to act as an extension of our team, working to build our business through powerful sales and marketing strategies – from leisure to corporate – makes Utell an ideal match for the Dan Tel Aviv.”
The 280-room Dan Tel Aviv has been recently renovated, and today blends classic elegance with contemporary design. Its new and stylish lobby has been moved to sea level, and updates have been made throughout the guest rooms, which include 84 executive sea view rooms, 41 luxury suites, a Presidential Suite and a Royal Suite. The hotel also offers indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a spa, sun deck, fitness center, four restaurants and the King David Business Lounge.
“Dan Hotels has been the fastest growing account in Israel for Utell over the last five years,” said Avelina Iglesias, vice president of sales and account management, EMEA for Utell. “Dan Hotels is ideally positioned through their membership with Utell to attract guests by leveraging our important global sales and marketing programs, and reaping the rewards of unrivaled distribution powered by Pegasus Solutions. We’re proud to extend our relationship with the company through the addition of the beautiful and renowned Dan Tel Aviv.”
The Dan Tel Aviv is now available on the GDSs under Utell’s chain code, UI, and at the dedicated travel agent Web site www.UtellAgent.com. It joins other Dan Hotels already in the Utell portfolio, including: Dan Caesarea Hotel, Dan Panorama Jerusalem, Dan Accadia Herzliya On Sea, Dan Panorama Tel Aviv, Dan Gardens Ashkelon, Dan Boutique Jerusalem, Dan Carmel Haifa, Dan Panorama Haifa, Dan Panorama Eilat, and Dan Eilat.
