Beresheet Hotel – Integrated Access Control with Retractable Bollards and Arm Barriers 

Perched on the edge of the breathtaking Ramon Crater in Israel’s Negev Desert, the Beresheet Hotel is a five-star luxury destination known for its architecture, exclusivity, and sensitive natural setting. To preserve the serene guest experience while ensuring vehicular access is carefully controlled and secure, the hotel required a solution that could both prevent unauthorized vehicle entry and enable seamless access for guests, staff, and service vehicles. With the hotel’s remote desert location and design-driven layout, the access control system had to balance security, reliability, and visual integration with minimal disruption to the landscape. 

ELGO provided a tailored solution combining its BLG-02-EH retractable M30-rated bollards with EL-06 automatic arm barriers at the main vehicle entry point. The BLG-02-EH bollards offer certified high-impact resistance and can fully retract into the ground when access is granted—delivering discreet, heavy-duty protection without interfering with the hotel’s design aesthetic. Paired with the EL-06 arm barriers, which provide visible, fast-acting control for day-to-day access management, the system offers a dual-layered approach: the bollards provide physical security, while the barrier arms handle operational flow and visual signaling for drivers. 

This integrated access control solution at the Beresheet Hotel illustrates how form and function can coexist in high-end, security-sensitive environments. The combination of retractable bollards and arm barriers ensures that only authorized vehicles can enter, all while maintaining the hotel’s architectural integrity and unobstructed desert views. For architects and consultants seeking proven methods to secure premium hospitality sites without compromising on design, the ELGO system at Beresheet offers a compelling case study.
