Rotana Hotel Management Corporation (Rotana) was founded in 1992, by a partnership between two visionary thinkers, Nasser Al Nowais and Selim El Zyr.
It opened its first property, the Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi in 1993 and is today one of the leading hotel management companies within the Middle East, Africa, South Asia and Eastern Europe.
This company offers the best of both worlds. A unique understanding of the culture and communities of the Middle East combined with the collective expertise of an executive team contributing to years of international experience in the service industry.
Its aggressive expansion plans are seeing the company grow from two properties in 1993 to a total of 100 by the year 2020. With several further properties planned for opening and new projects in the pipeline confirming the company’s intention to have a Rotana-managed property in all the major cities throughout the Middle East, Africa, South Asia and Eastern Europe within the next five years.
