Fattal Story

Leonardo Hotels is constantly expanding and this is due to the vision and engagement of David Fattal, founder and CEO of Fattal Hotels, as well as of Molly Katz, Managing Director of Leonardo Hotels.

David Fattal was born in 1957 in Haifa, Israel and graduated in Management, Sociology and Pedagogy at the University of Haifa. Furthermore, he also studied at the Tadmor School for Hotel Management in Herzliya and took part in several courses of the Cornell University in New York, USA. His professional career in the hotel industry began at the age of 27 when he was appointed General Manager for the prestigious Dan Accadia Hotels in Herzliya. After several managing positions, in 1996 David Fattal took over the direction of the Africa Israel Hotels & Resorts Ltd., a subsidiary of Africa Israel Investments. Thanks to his leadership the concept of the franchise of the International hotel brand Holiday Inn was successfully introduced in the Israeli market. In 1998 David Fattal started his own business, the Fattal Hotel Management Company and opened the first hotel of the chain, Le Meridien Hotel Eilat. In 2005 Fattal Hotels undertook an expansion project of its hotel portfolio investing in properties located in Europe:Leonardo Hotels was founded as the European Division of Fattal Hotels. Nowadays, the hotel chain boasts more than 150 properties in Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Netherlands, UK, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic and Poland.
