For years, Modi’in has been known primarily as a residential city for families seeking a high quality of life, excellent schools, and green surroundings. However, the city is now undergoing a transformation, with increasing investments in infrastructure, business centers, and now—hospitality. The Jacob Hotels chain has announced the opening of a new luxury hotel in Azrieli Modi’in Center, a move that marks a significant step forward in positioning Modi’in as a destination not just for residents but for business travelers, tourists, and visitors from across Israel and beyond.
Next month (March), Jacob Hotel Modi’in will offer 85 elegantly designed rooms, catering to a wide range of guests, from professionals traveling for work to families looking for a convenient and comfortable stay. Covering 5,200 square meters, the hotel will feature modern, high-end design elements and top-tier amenities that reflect the Jacob Hotels brand’s commitment to quality.
Among the standout features of the new hotel:
✔ Spacious spa offering a relaxing retreat
✔ Bar restaurant with a unique culinary experience
✔ Business hall and meeting rooms for conferences and professional gatherings
✔ Event terrace overlooking Anava Park, ideal for celebrations and corporate events
✔ Synagogue
The David Leventhal Studio is responsible for the interior design, integrating modern aesthetics with natural materials to create an inviting and luxurious atmosphere. The hotel’s exterior will be wrapped in an aluminum grid, giving it a sleek, contemporary look. Furthermore, the hotel is being built according to LEED Gold v4 international green building standards, ensuring sustainability through energy-efficient solutions and environmentally friendly materials.
Strategic Location for Business and Leisure Travelers
Modi’in’s central location in Israel makes it an appealing destination for travelers, offering easy access to major cities and transportation hubs. The new Jacob Hotel, situated near the Modi’in train station, provides seamless connectivity for visitors from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Ben Gurion Airport, just a 15-minute drive away. Its prime location is expected to attract a diverse range of guests, from business professionals attending meetings and conferences to international tourists looking for an alternative to the crowded city centers. With its proximity to the airport, the hotel is also well-suited for flight crews and airline personnel in need of convenient accommodations. Additionally, families visiting loved ones in Modi’in will now have a high-end lodging option that enhances their stay with comfort and accessibility.
A Game-Changer for Modi’in’s Hospitality Landscape
Until now, Modi’in lacked traditional hotel accommodations, leaving visitors with limited choices for overnight stays. Many relied on Airbnb rentals or short-term apartment stays, which often lacked the full-service experience of a proper hotel. While home-sharing platforms provided an alternative, they did not offer the convenience of on-site services such as a restaurant, concierge, meeting rooms, or wellness facilities. The Jacob Hotel will be the first major hospitality brand to establish itself in the city, providing a fully serviced, luxury lodging option for short- and long-term stays.
Part of Modi’in’s Larger Development Plan
The Azrieli Group, one of Israel’s leading real estate and development firms, heavily invests in Modi’in, recognizing its long-term potential. Dana Azrieli, Chairperson of the Azrieli Group, spoke about the city’s growth and the vision behind the hotel:
“We saw Modi’in’s potential two decades ago and are committed to helping shape its future. The Jacob Hotel is part of a larger initiative that includes establishing a major medical center in collaboration with Clalit Health Services. This medical facility will feature an emergency room, imaging services, and operating rooms, making Modi’in an important regional healthcare hub. We aim to create an integrated complex that offers everything in one place—shopping, dining, medical services, and premium hospitality. We believe that this hotel will serve as a key element in Modi’in’s continued transformation.”
The Future of Modi’in’s Hospitality Industry
With Modi’in rapidly expanding, the opening of the Jacob Hotel marks a turning point in the city’s development. Until now, visitors to Modi’in had limited accommodation options, with most choosing to stay in nearby cities such as Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. While Airbnb and short-term rentals filled some of the gaps, they did not provide the level of comfort, security, and convenience that a full-service hotel offers.
The Jacob Hotels brand, known for its stylish boutique hotels in locations such as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and the Galilee, is now set to leave its mark on Modi’in’s hospitality landscape. By offering a high-end hotel experience in one of Israel’s most promising cities, Jacob Hotels is playing a crucial role in shaping Modi’in’s future as a destination for travelers, professionals, and investors alike.
