Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem: The Best Hotel in Israel for Business Events, 2026

The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem hotel was announced over the weekend as the best MICE Hotel in Israel. This prestigious win occurred at the World MICE Awards, held by the umbrella organization World Travel Awards, whose awards are considered the "Oscars" of the travel industry.

The World MICE Awards, now in its seventh year, includes various categories in the global MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry such as: Best Convention Center, Best MICE Destination, Best MICE Hotel, Best MICE Exhibition, and Best MICE Airline.

Abner Onn, General Manager of Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem: "We are proud of our win in this prestigious MICE industry competition. Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem features a ballroom designed for private events as well as the business sector, capable of accommodating up to 400 people and hosting a series of high-profile conferences annually to the highest standards. In the past year, conferences for JNS, Herzog-Fox-Neeman, Maccabi Health Services, and many others were held at the hotel.

At the same time, the hotel allows for smaller business events in adapted spaces operating on the hotel's business floor. It is also worth mentioning that Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem enjoys a unique location in the heart of Israel's capital and adjacent to its most important historical sites. The fact that companies and business people from around the world choose to hold their conferences and business events with us time and again is proof that we are indeed worthy of the award we received."
