Rotana will be further strengthening its presence in the KSA, and will take over the management of DAMAC Towers Arjaan by Rotana in Riyadh on 15 March. The property is set to open in early April. The announcement follows a partnership signed between the company and DAMAC Hotels and Resorts last year. 

The new property brings Rotana’s total tally in the Kingdom to seven hotels and 2,087 keys with a strong development pipeline including Centro Corniche, Al Khobar and Dana Rayhaan by Rotana, Dammam. The two properties are also scheduled to open during the first half of 2020 and will add further 807 rooms to the hotel operator’s total inventory.

The twin-tower architectural landmark offers a total of 448 luxurious rooms, suites and penthouses. The hotel features meeting and events facilities, a wellness and fitness center, separate temperature-controlled swimming pools for men and women, and a gymnasium, among others. 

Guy Hutchinson, president and CEO of Rotana, said: “It is a pleasure to partner with DAMAC Hotels and Resorts on the launch of our seventh hotel in Saudi Arabia. This exciting new property marks the Saudi debut of the Arjaan Hotel Apartments by Rotana brand, further enhancing our diverse portfolio in the Kingdom and bringing elegant city living to the heart of Riyadh. Offering the finest in extended-stay, we have no doubt that this hotel will become a preference for travelers looking for a luxurious home-away-from-home experience”.

“Despite the current global situation, we remain optimistic about the Kingdom’s tourism performance and the region as a whole. Governments in various countries are focusing strongly on economic diversification, and with tourism playing a central role in these efforts we look forward to a bright future for the hospitality industry,” added Hutchinson.
