According to the report, the Brown Hotels Group will head the project together with Symba Levi. The hotel will be on the western side of Terminal 3 and will have 400 rooms. The project is estimated at 100 million shekels ($30 million). Construction is slated to begin in 2022 and last for two years.
The Brown Hotels Group has 21 hotels in Israel and several more in Europe. The group plans to have 60 hotels by 2023, and currently operates the spa in the King David lobby at the airport.
The tender for the BGA hotel allows Brown to operate the hotel for 25 years, after which it will revert to the ownership of the Israel Airports Authority.
