About Rotana

Founded by a partnership between two creative thinkers, Nasser Al Nowais and Selim El Zyr, in 1992, Rotana is a well-known hotel management company with its headquarters in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. With a portfolio of over 100 properties in 25+ cities, Rotana is excellently serving its customers in the Middle East, Africa, Turkey and the Balkans area. The company also operates six sub-brands: Rotana Hotels & Resorts, Arjaan Hotel Apartments by Rotana, Centro Hotels by Rotana, Edge by Rotana, Rayhaan Hotels & Resorts by Rotana, and The Residences by Rotana. As a brand, Rotana’s vision is to be recognised for its exclusive blend of best-in-class standards with authentic hospitality and for the experiences that they have created for its guests. 

This privately held company in the Hospitality and Tourism sector opened its first hotel - Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi, in 1993 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Four years later, in 1997, Jumeirah Rotana and Al Bustan Rotana were launched in Dubai and Al Rawda Arjaan by Rotana in Abu Dhabi. Following the launch of Gefinor Rotana in Beirut, Lebanon in 2000, Rotana decided to branch out of the United Arab Emirates by opening projects in Egypt and Lebanon. Rotana Builders, with a team of experts, plans to grow remarkably from two projects started in 1993 to 80 projects by the end of 2023. With multiple projects planned for opening and new projects in the pipeline, Rotana builders aim to have a Rotana-managed property in all the considerable cities throughout Africa and Eastern Europe within the next five years. 

Across all their six brands, they aim to offer the same longevity and lifeblood that perfectly represents them. Each property under the Rotana brand boasts highly advanced features and a classically elegant architectural design that will surely impress you. And more importantly, they manage to achieve all this without passing on useless additional expenses to their guests. Rotana builders recognise the value of time and promise that the time spent with them will be the moments that will always be treasured.

We went to Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The experienced team there was kind enough to help me plan a surprise for my hubby. It was a memorable experience as my kids also enjoyed it there.

We spent 8 days in their hotel, and I can happily say those were the best 8 days of my life. Everything was wonderful, but the best part was the staff there. The staff people were so friendly, kind and understanding. Good work, team Rotana!
