The award, given to hotel chains that have led growth and influence in the European hospitality market, places Fattal, the largest Israeli hotel chain in Europe, alongside leading international names like Marriott, B&B Hotels, BWH Hotels, and TH Resorts.
This recognition comes shortly after Israel had to contend with its participation being canceled at the TTG tourism fair in Rimini, highlighting Fattal's status as an important player on the global stage.
Last year, Fattal won the prestigious Grand Prix award at the Hospitality Awards in Paris, naming him "Hotelier of the Year in Europe".

The award belongs to me just as much as it belongs to each and every one of our staff members, who work diligently embodying values of excellence, professionalism, and an exceptional hospitality experience. Over the past twenty years, we have grown from a local chain to a global presence in dozens of countries, and we continue to expand into new markets in Europe and worldwide. This recognition is evidence that our vision to make a high-quality and exciting hospitality experience accessible to more and more guests is supported and appreciated on a global scale. I am proud to stand here on behalf of all the network's employees, in Israel and around the world."
