The Carlton Tel Aviv hotel has been honored as Israel's Leading Hotel for 2026 at the prestigious World Travel Awards. The announcement was made at the World Travel Awards Middle East Gala Ceremony held in Dubai on September 13, attended by industry leaders from across the region.

This award marks a significant achievement for the Carlton Tel Aviv, which previously won Israel's Leading Business Hotel in 2025 for the ninth time. The five-star hotel, located on the Tel Aviv coastline with over forty years of operation, offers a blend of urban and seaside hospitality, featuring sea-view rooms, a business lounge, a spa, and a rooftop pool with panoramic views.

Adi Navon, CEO of Carlton Tel Aviv, expressed pride in the award, calling it a "moving expression of confidence" and highlighting its special significance for the Israeli tourism industry during challenging times. He credited the hotel's staff for their professionalism and dedication, vowing to continue providing international-standard Israeli hospitality.

In a related recognition, the David InterContinental Tel Aviv was named Israel's Leading Conference Hotel for 2026 by the same World Travel Awards organization. This is the fifth time the hotel has received this award, underscoring its consistent performance in hosting large-scale events and delegations.

Ilya Burgakov, CEO of David InterContinental Tel Aviv, stated that the repeated win reflects confidence in the hotel's ongoing efforts. He emphasized the capabilities of their conference center, the largest among hotels in Israel, which facilitates hosting events of the highest standards year-round, attributing the success to the dedicated professional team.
