The Sheraton Tel Aviv already embodies many of these ambitions. GM is excellent and has driven change in staff service and attitude like I've never seen in a hotel.

Was just there last Oct...and the service and Club were outstanding. The hard product in the rooms was fine, but nothing too great. The hard product could stand a refurb IMO...but then I'm used to staying at more luxe brands. The new W opening in Tel Aviv might take some pressure off the Sheraton, actually.

Absolutely. I also hope we'll see more. I'm not thrilled with the locations for most of these, as they're just a bit too distant to always be easy walking distance to the campuses, but hopefully the newer locations will be closer/better located in that regard.
I am a UNC grad, and so I'm back in Chapel Hill often. But the Aloft Chapel Hill is too far for me to bother (almost 2 miles), so I usually stay at the Carolina Inn or even the Franklin (a Curio by Hilton property) since they are so close to campus/town. There even is a Hampton Inn just 1 mile from campus. It kills me that the Aloft is too far.

They are doing a floor by floor refurbishment. 15th is finished.
I think 12th and 13th too by now.
The hard product is pretty nice.
