Rotana’s launch into Turkey – one of Europe’s
fastest-growing hospitality markets – will see the
group open two hotels in Istanbul in July 2015 with
a total inventory of 319 rooms. Rotana is also set to
strengthen its presence in Qatar where the brand will
open its second five-star hotel and its first Centro
branded hotel in Doha in August 2015. Featuring a
combined inventory of 600 rooms, the two openings
will make the group the largest hotel operator in this
Arabian Gulf State with a portfolio of four hotels.
Already the leading hotel operator in the UAE,
Rotana’s number of properties in the capital will
increase to 13 with the forthcoming opening of
Capital Centre Arjaan by Rotana, Abu Dhabi. Rotana
is also poised to extend its footprint in Bahrain with
the opening of Downtown Rotana, the group’s third
property in the island nation.
A further three properties are set to open in Saudi
Arabia – including the first five star Rotana hotel in
the capital of Riyadh and the country’s first Centro
branded hotel, to be located in Jeddah and Riyadh –
which are expected to add 772 rooms to the existing
inventory. As part of its continued expansion in the
African market, Rotana will open the 100-room
Kinshasa Arjaan by Rotana in the capital of the
Democratic Republic of Congo this year.
The new properties will create a substantial number of
employment opportunities and Rotana plans to hire
more than 10,000 employees across the next five years
to operate the hotels.
