Elma Arts Complex & Boutique Hotel

ELMA IS A PLACE WHERE THOSE WHO ENTER ITS DOORS CAN FIND ART IN EVERY CORNER AND AT EVERY MOMENT.

Lily Elstein – Owner of Elma Arts Complex Luxury Hotel

Beautiful Views and Interiors, Where Art Is Everywhere

Elma is the brainchild of Israeli philanthropist and art collector Lily Elstein, whose original dream was to build a cultural center. A descendant of the founders of Zichron Ya’akov, the seaside village where Elma is located, Elstein has devoted much of her life to public service, focusing on the absorption of immigrants and the promotion of culture. Now, with Elma, she has realized another dream: to meld luxury hospitality with a thriving world-class cultural center, while at the same time breathing new life into a near-forgotten architectural masterpiece.

The Elma Arts Complex and Boutique Hotel brings together the finest art and comforting hospitality.

Every form of artistic expression is celebrated at Elma. Two concert halls designed by world-renowned Arup/Artec Consultants Inc., of New York offer acoustic experiences as perfect as can be found anywhere in the world for performances in every style. Visual arts are also represented, with two expansive galleries designed to accommodate paintings and sculptures created by artists from Israel and all over the world.
 
Four studios offer artists the opportunity to work in residency for extended periods of time so they can pursue their creative vision in a setting that is both peaceful and magnificent.
