Ania Bukstein, Yevgenia Dodina and Nelly Tagor are among the celebrities staying at the Inbal Jerusalem Hotel during the Jerusalem Film Festival, which begins this weekend. Renowned film industry professionals, including the noted producer Said Ben Said, singer Shlomi Shaban, actor Oshri Cohen, actress Yuval Scharf and others, will retreat to the Inbal after the day’s screenings.
As the base for so many of the festival’s participants, the Inbal Hotel may just be the birthplace of the next big project. The restaurants, spa and hallways will be buzzing with industry thought leaders and will be a natural center for discussion following the inspiration of seeing acclaimed recent films. The sophisticated atmosphere of the hotel lends itself easily to discussion and socializing, encouraging meetings unlikely to occur in any other environment. “We’re honored to be chosen by the Jerusalem Film Festival and its partners as a central address venue for the event. In keeping with the best traditions of the festival, we look forward to welcoming our guests and helping them fully enjoy all the week has to offer,” said Rony Timsit, general manager of the hotel.
The hotel has frequently hosted visiting politicians and celebrities in the past, such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, and executives of major companies such as El Al and Coca Cola. With elegant rooms and several restaurants, including the well-known Sofia Restaurant, it is well-prepared for such guests. The fully equipped gym and heated pool with a pool bar provide an outlet. With amenities including a jacuzzi and even chocolate fondue, festival guests can be expected to be relaxed and ready for the festival and after hours.
