'''Dan Hotels''' is the oldest and largest hotel chain in [[Israel]].


'''Dan Hotels''' is an Israeli hotel chain established in 1947. The chain owns 18 hotels in Israel with 3,669 rooms, a convention center and a hotel training center, as well as a 226-room hotel in Bangalore, India.<ref name="hotelnewsnow.com">[https://archive.today/20130126002737/http://www.hotelnewsnow.com/articles.aspx/6104/Dan-Hotels-looks-to-expand-outside-Israel Dan Hotels looks to expand outside Israel]</ref>
It was founded in June 1947, when Yekutiel and Shmuel Federmann purchased the Kate Dan, a 21-room 'pensione' (boarding house) on the [[Tel Aviv]] seashore. Today, the Dan Chain owns and operates 13 prestigious hotels with a total of 3,300 rooms, an exclusive [[apartment hotel]], a shopping center, an international convention center, a training school for hoteliers, and more.


==History==
The Dan Hotels Corporation Ltd. has been registered on the [[Tel Aviv Stock Exchange]] since 1982, with 87% of its shares owned by the Federmann family.
In June 1947, Yekutiel and Shmuel Federmann leased Kaete Dan, a small guest house on [[Tel Aviv]] beach from its then-owner, Abraham Stamberg. They built the Dan hotel around the original pension, finally purchasing the Kaete Dan in 1956. Adopting the name from the previous owner, they formed the Dan Hotels Corporation. The [[Dan Hotel, Tel Aviv|Dan Tel Aviv]] in 1953 was the city's first luxury hotel.


In 1957, the Federmanns purchased the [[King David Hotel]] in [[Jerusalem]]. In 1958, they purchased the beach front Dan Accadia in [[Herzliya]], followed in 1960 by the Dan Carmel in [[Haifa]] and Dan Caesarea in 1971. In June 1982 its shares were listed for trading on the [[Tel Aviv Stock Exchange]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Yanai Levison |first1=Halit |title=Builders: Yekutiel Federman, father of the Dan Hotel Empire |url=https://www.globes.co.il/news/article.aspx?did=1000664754 |access-date=27 October 2021 |publisher=[[Globes (newspaper)|Globes]] |date=17 July 2011}}</ref>
The majority of the Dan Hotels are graded by the Israeli [[Tourism Minister of Israel|Ministry of Tourism]] as first-class hotels and the remainder as second-class hotels. The company manages and operates 5 VIP lounges at the [[Ben Gurion International Airport]] in partnership with other companies. The company also owns commercial property and apartments at the King David Towers in Tel Aviv and has one-third ownership in the commercial and management center of the Panorama Shopping Mall in [[Haifa]]. The company is also a partner in the catering services provided to the [[Israel Defense Forces]].


Despite economic problems in the 1980s, the chain opened the Dan Panorama in Tel Aviv and Dan Panorama in Haifa. In 1995, it opened the Dan Eilat, followed by the Dan Panorama Jerusalem, Dan Gardens Ashkelon and Dan Panorama Eilat. In 2000, the chain renovated and refurbished the Dvir Hotel in Haifa, renaming it the Dan Gardens Haifa. The Dan Gourmet School for chefs is on the grounds of this property. In 2007, it bought the Ariel Hotel in Jerusalem, which was renovated and reopened as the Dan Boutique. The Hyatt-Regency on [[Mount Scopus]] was acquired and renamed the Dan Jerusalem.
About 60% of the total bed nights in 2007 were overseas tourists, the remainder were Israelis.


In 2017, Dan Hotels opened its first overseas property at Bangalore, India. The 226 room hotel is named 'The Den' and is located in the Whitefield district of the city.<ref>[https://www.news18.com/news/lifestyle/israeli-hospitality-chain-dan-hotels-opens-doors-in-bengaluru-1923249.html Israeli Hospitality Chain Dan Hotels Opens Doors in Bengaluru], ''News18.com'', 29 October 2018</ref> In June 2018, it opened the Link & Hub hotel in Tel Aviv.<ref>Shlomit Tsur, [https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-ami-federmann-1001257668 Dan transforms Tel Aviv office building into hotel], ''Globes.co.il'', 23 October 2018</ref><ref>[https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-dan-hotels-opens-high-tech-tel-aviv-link-1001246728 Dan opens high-tech Tel Aviv Link hotel], ''Globes.co.il'', 19 July 2018</ref> In December 2018, Dan hotels was in talk to purchase the hotel properties of the [[Israel Land Development Company]] which owns the Rimonim hotel chain.<ref>Michal Raz-Chaimovich, [https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-dan-hotels-in-talks-to-buy-rimonim-hotel-chain-1001263208 Dan Hotels eyes Rimonim hotel chain], ''Globes.co.il'', 3 December 2018</ref>
