NEW HOTELS | Abu Dhabi’s Rotana to open 2 hotels in Dubai in Q3

Rotana, the Abu Dhabi-based hotel chain, said Saturday it will open two hotels in Dubai in the third quarter of 2011, bringing its total number of properties in the emirate to 15.


The privately-held firm plans to open a five-star property and a number of serviced hotel apartments as part of the expansion of the Al Ghurair Shopping complex in Deira.

Rotana’s existing portfolio in Dubai includes the 72-storey Rose Rayhaan by Rotana which holds the title of the world’s tallest hotel building.

The firm said in December it would launch seven properties in 2011 representing an investment of $800m and making it the UAE’s largest single hotel player with 33 hotels under management.
