InterContinental Jerusalem Announces Its Executive Team
Jerusalem’s first luxury hotel in more than a decade prepares for highly anticipated late summer opening

 

Developed under IHG Hotels & Resorts’ iconic InterContinental brand, the hotel blends global sophistication with locally inspired design, thoughtful cultural programming, and elevated service rooted in the spirit of Jerusalem. Further underscoring its international appeal, InterContinental Jerusalem has been accepted into Virtuoso, the leading global network of luxury travel advisors.

Leading the property’s debut are General Manager Eyal Goldberger and Director of Sales & Marketing Galit Heller Halfon, recognized for their extensive international experience across luxury hospitality, commercial strategy, and destination-driven guest experiences.

An Israeli-American citizen and forward-thinking leader with 25 years in the global hospitality industry, Goldberger has built a reputation for his expertise in pre-openings, commercial acumen, operational excellence, and people-first leadership. He previously worked with leading global brands including Marriott International and Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, notably spearheading the opening of Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale during the height of the pandemic.

Following this milestone, Goldberger returned to Israel to continue his leadership in luxury hospitality development. As General Manager of the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem, part of The Set Collection, he bridged international service standards with a warm, personalized local approach.

“There is no place with a cultural tapestry like Jerusalem,” said Goldberger. “Our goal is to honor that legacy while introducing a contemporary expression of luxury and refined five-star service. We have created a sanctuary in the heart of the city.”

Director of Sales & Marketing Galit Heller-Halfon brings more than 30 years of experience in destination hospitality, sales, and commercial leadership. She previously held senior roles including Vice President of Marketing and Sales and was instrumental in establishing The Jaffa Hotel in Tel Aviv-Jaffa under Marriott International. She also led sales and marketing at Jerusalem’s Mamilla Hotel for nearly a decade.

“With IHG’s global recognition and the support of advisor-led travel through Virtuoso, we are proud to establish a new cultural address in Jerusalem that feels both globally sophisticated and authentically rooted,” says Heller-Halfon.

InterContinental Jerusalem Anuncia Su Equipo Ejecutivo
El primer hotel de lujo en más de una década en Jerusalén se prepara para su esperada apertura a finales del verano

Este verano, InterContinental Jerusalem abrirá sus puertas, marcando el primer hotel de lujo en la ciudad en más de diez años e introduciendo un nuevo referente de hospitalidad contemporánea en uno de los destinos más históricos del mundo. Desarrollado bajo la icónica marca InterContinental de IHG Hotels & Resorts, el hotel combina sofisticación global con diseño inspirado localmente, programación cultural cuidadosamente pensada y un servicio elevado arraigado en el espíritu de Jerusalén. Reforzando su atractivo internacional, InterContinental Jerusalem ha sido aceptado en Virtuoso, la principal red global de asesores de viajes de lujo.

Al frente de esta apertura se encuentran el Director General Eyal Goldberger y la Directora de Ventas y Marketing Galit Heller Halfon, reconocidos por su amplia experiencia internacional en hospitalidad de lujo, estrategia comercial y experiencias orientadas al destino.

Ciudadano israelí-estadounidense y líder visionario con 25 años en la industria hotelera global, Goldberger ha construido una reputación basada en su experiencia en preaperturas, visión comercial, excelencia operativa y liderazgo centrado en las personas. Trabajó previamente con marcas internacionales como Marriott International y Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, destacando la apertura del Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale durante el momento más complejo de la pandemia.

Posteriormente regresó a Israel para continuar su liderazgo en el desarrollo de hospitalidad de lujo. Como Director General del David Citadel Hotel en Jerusalén, parte de The Set Collection, logró integrar estándares internacionales con un enfoque local cálido y personalizado.

“No existe un lugar con una riqueza cultural como Jerusalén”, afirmó Goldberger. “Nuestro objetivo es honrar ese legado mientras introducimos una expresión contemporánea del lujo y un servicio cinco estrellas refinado. Hemos creado un santuario en el corazón de la ciudad.”

Por su parte, Galit Heller-Halfon aporta más de 30 años de experiencia en hospitalidad de destino, ventas y liderazgo comercial. Ocupó cargos ejecutivos como Vicepresidenta de Marketing y Ventas y fue clave en el establecimiento de The Jaffa Hotel en Tel Aviv-Jaffa bajo Marriott International. También lideró durante casi una década las áreas de ventas y marketing del Mamilla Hotel en Jerusalén.

“Con el reconocimiento global de IHG y el respaldo de Virtuoso, estamos orgullosos de establecer una nueva dirección cultural en Jerusalén que se siente sofisticada y auténticamente arraigada”, expresó Heller-Halfon.
