InterContinental David Tel Aviv by IHG

The David - Delivers Outstanding Service Again- My daughter was invited for a second time to present at the ARC Summit conference which is affiliated with Sheba Hospital and is held in this hotel- she invited me- her mother to accompany her. As a veteran health professional , I feel compelled to write this review.It was our second annual visit for this purpose and we both only wanted to stay at the David and here is why, We were welcomed at the entry by a porter, Kief who recognized us from the year before and broke out into a warm smile and immediately helped us with our luggage after our ten hour flight. We then checked in and were greeted by Arnon, who is the manager of the front desk and he too welcomed us back like extended family. Arnon is the consummate professional and so very warm and gracious . On check out , I told him that he and his very devoted team made our stay unforgettable. From Leah who helped with great reservations from an impossibly busy restaurant to Zara to Ilya ,they were always gracious and uber helpful as he was. The dining room - well my daughter and I fantasized about the sumptuous morning brunches and the very special Sabbath feast from the year before and we can say this dining experience was a highlight of our trip. Under the leadership of Kevin, who provides service that is understated elegance and both warm and welcoming and gracious at the same time. This was especially my daughter’s moment in the day to relax and enjoy. His team with Martine, who is absoloutely delightful and manages all the waiters and waitresses to Kseniia as the maître d to Michal who made sure we had our morning lattes - on their beautiful deck overlooking the sea - and sitting down and enjoying a plate of our favs from Bourekas to polenta, from olives to pine nuts, from smoked salmon to herring ,from beet salad to tomatoes marinated with soft cheese to cream cheese to sour cream, every kind of bread , olives ,fruit - it was magical experience as is the Sabbath dinner. Late at night as my daughter prepared her work for the next day the beverage manager , Daniel would take wonderful care of us. We also treated ourselves to a massage which we both had by Timor - he also gets a 15 out 10- a top notch professional and Mira who helped make our stay at this beautiful spa - extra special. It takes a very cohesive professional team to deliver this level of outstanding services., It is no wonder that The Sheba hospital holds its international ARC Summit conference at this hotel. Finally , we loved waking up daily to a view of the stunning Mediterranean.
