HVS Opens New Office in Israel Under Leadership of Ronit Copeland

HVS, the leading independent global hospitality consultancy firm, has announced the opening of its Israeli office, marking a significant expansion of its global presence in the Europe and Middle East region. Located in Tel Aviv, this new office reflects HVS’s commitment to supporting clients in one of the world’s fastest-growing hospitality markets. Led by Ronit Copeland, a renowned international hospitality expert with extensive experience across Israel, Europe, and the USA, HVS Tel Aviv will deliver world-class international expertise tailored to the needs of the local market.

Offering a full range of consultancy services – including feasibility studies, valuations, market and financial analysis, asset management, global brand and operator searches, and strategic advisory – the Tel Aviv office will serve investors, developers and operators seeking to capitalise on Israel’s dynamic market opportunities.

‘An HVS presence in Tel-Aviv is now critical,’ according to Russell Kett, Chairman of the HVS London Office. ‘In the last 30 years, the London office has conducted many assignments in Israel, providing a significant platform for the establishment of a stand-alone, independent office.’

The expansion to Tel Aviv comes at a pivotal time for the region. The nation is increasingly recognised as a hub for hospitality and tourism innovation, with landmark developments and infrastructure projects underway. Backed by Ronit Copeland’s strong market reputation in Israel and her track record across Europe and the USA, the new office will support initiatives, leveraging HVS’s celebrated international expertise and reputation for delivering actionable, market-driven solutions.

‘The establishment of HVS Tel Aviv marks a significant milestone in our global growth strategy,’ said Steve Mendell, Founder and Executive Chairman of HVS in Europe, Middle East and Asia. ‘Israel’s dynamic drive for innovation creates a unique opportunity, and we are excited to work in such a vibrant real estate and hospitality landscape, supporting investors and entrepreneurs with our proven expertise and in-depth, local market insights.’

Leveraging its network, know-how and multicultural mindset, HVS Tel Aviv will also support clients with projects across the globe, relying on its local market intelligence to create ground-breaking enterprises.

Managing partner and CEO Ronit Copeland added, ‘As a long-time collaborator with HVS, it is an honour to lead the Israeli office and contribute to the firm’s global expansion. The creative sensitivity, perseverance, and unwavering desire among entrepreneurs to create measurable value is something unique to the southern Mediterranean region, and the opening of HVS Tel Aviv recognises these traits as an outstanding asset with the potential to uplift the entire region in the longer term. I am confident that our presence here will provide invaluable support to stakeholders navigating this exciting and evolving market.’
