02 Mitzpe Hayamim - Isrotel Concept

Based on the fundamentals and ethics of Mitzpe Hayamim, we are creating spaces which allow for rest and relaxation. By setting the tone with a warm and atmospheric reception, we showcase organic materials in a luxurious way. We will create focal points of the views to capture and remind guests of one of their reasons for visiting. The pool and spa will be updated to maximise its potential by creating a calm, rejuvenating space. Featuring Mitpe’s organic produce and shops is key to linking with the local community. Areas will be modernised in an eclectic way to hold on to, and build on the history and of this beautiful hotel.

03 King Solomon Hotel - Isrotel Concept

Our objective, as an established family friendly hotel, was to upgrade the existing Italian restaurant into a venue that would provide diners with a great dining experience. To do this, we created a live open kitchen where diners can watch the food being prepared, creating an engaging component. The design idea was based on the site location and bringing the outside inside by seamlessly integrating the outdoor terrace area into the restaurant.

05 Dead Sea Lux - Isrotel Concept

The design concept has derived from the rich history of the surrounding area of Dead Sea, such as Masada – a Fortress built by Herod the Great; Ein Gedi – an Oasis of waterfalls with enchanting nature and wildlife; and the Sea of Salt itself. Our approach is to bring the key elements from those areas in Holistic and contempory fashion. The gentle milk white translucency of the salt crystals, the dazzling sparkle of the turquoise waters, and the mountains, steeped in mysticism and legend. These elements have come together to form the basis of our hotel concept.

THE SEA:

Beautiful and mesmerising, healing and historical; the Dead Sea is one of the World’s first health resorts.

THE MOUNTAINS:

A place for refuge, a place of enchantment; the mountains and caves surrounding the Dead Sea were used to hide the precious Dead Sea Scrolls.

THE EARTH:

Sanctuary, submerged and silent; the lowest point on the planet, quiet without animals and plants
