Israel’s Dan Hotels has announced the appointment of Matan Lerner as the new general manager of King David Jerusalem Hotel, the group’s flagship property that opened its doors in 1930. Lerner will assume his new role in Jerusalem on July 1.
Lerner previously served as general manager of both the Dan Caesarea and Dan Accadia Resorts on Israel’s Mediterranean shore, overseeing their renovation and upgrading, assuring their continued profile as Israel’s premier Mediterranean resorts. He joined Dan Hotels in 2019 after managing Tel Aviv’s Montefiore Hotel, Israel’s first luxury boutique hotel.
Lerner replaces Tamir Kobrin, who joined the King David in 2020 and is taking up a management position in Italy. Kobrin successfully guided the hotel through the strains of the pandemic, and led the hotel’s culinary team to new heights, overseeing the revival of the King David’s classic Grill Room restaurant.
Shlomi Tahan, CEO of Dan Hotels, said: “I would like to thank Tamir for his years of work and contribution to the King David Hotel. We wish him every success in his future endeavors.
“At the same time, I am proud to wish Matan every success as he takes on the important role of leading the chain’s flagship hotel. I have every confidence that under Matan’s leadership, the King David will reach new heights of excellence and earn many more accolades. And we, in management, are committed to helping him succeed in this critical role,” added Tahan.
The group has also announced management changes in Caesarea, Herzliya and Tel Aviv. The Dan Caesarea Resort is promoting hotel manager Eliran Dar as its new general manager. Ilan Ben Hakon will leave his role of general manager at the Dan Tel Aviv Hotel and Link Hotel & Hub to take up the same role at the Dan Accadia Resort in Herzliya. Ben Yanover, currently managing the Dan Hotels in the Haifa and Nazareth areas, will take up the role of general manager at the beachfront flagship Dan Tel Aviv. Replacing Yanover in northern Israel will be Yaniv Shavit, who has approximately 20 years of experience in the hotel industry, initially serving as deputy food & beverage manager at the Dan Tel Aviv Hotel and VP of food & beverage at the Dan Caesarea Resort.
