The Princess Hotel in Eilat, closed since 2015 and dormant for over a decade, is slated to reopen next summer under a new hotel management network formed by Airport City and former Fattal CEO Avia Magen. The hotel, once a luxury landmark, faced financial collapse after the Second Intifada and other crises. Renovation delays and a 2019 fire stalled previous revival attempts. The new network will manage 1,100 rooms across Israel, including 420 at the Princess Hotel.
