Hospitality group Rotana has launched its second hotel in Amman, Jordan, at an investment of $280 million, as part of its global expansion plan.

Deputising for His Majesty King Abdullah II, Jordan’s Prime Minister Hani Al-Mulki patronised the official opening of ‘Rotana Amman’, which brings the group’s combined inventory in Amman to 803 rooms, suites and hotel apartments, making Rotana the largest hotel operator in the kingdom.

In his speech during the opening ceremony, chairman and founder of Rotana Nasser Al Nowais said: “The opening of Amman Rotana encapsulates the group’s broader growth vision and expansion plans, as we reinforce our leadership in the region and continue our pursuit of delivering unparalleled hospitality experiences that our guests have come to associate with the Rotana brand.”

“Jordan is among the top tourism destinations in the region and the opening of this new hotel enhances our growing portfolio in the Jordanian market, which includes The Boulevard Arjaan by Rotana in the new Abdali downtown area. We look forward to enhancing our presence in the kingdom’s tourism sector as part of our vision of operating more than 100 hotels globally by 2020. We remain committed to providing our guests with only the best services, while maintaining the highest levels of luxury, privacy and comfort across all our hotels,” he added.

As the tallest building in the kingdom, Amman Rotana towers 188 meters and features 50 floors that include 412 lavish rooms and suites designed to combine luxury and comfort. Additionally, the hotel is home to a number of sophisticated and innovative dining venues, the cutting-edge Bodylines Fitness & Wellness Club as well as an outdoor swimming pool.

Amman Rotana features six dining outlets, including ThreeSixty, The Lounge, Rodeo Grill steakhouse, Italian restaurant Gusto, Bar on Four and The Deck Pool Lounge. Additionally, the hotel houses the Monarch Ballroom, a deluxe hall for special occasions and nine exclusive meeting spaces, as well as Bodylines Fitness & Wellness Club which offers the latest in training equipment, expert trainers, a sauna, Jacuzzi and steam rooms.

Located in Amman’s new downtown as an integral part of the Abdali project, the hotel is centrally located with a spectacular 360-degree panoramic views of the capital and its seven hills. Amman Rotana is adjacent to The Boulevard Arjaan by Rotana and is steps away from the Boulevard, a contemporary commercial district that features luxurious outdoor retail stores as well as a number of popular restaurants and cafes. Also close by is the Al-Abdali Mall, Jordan’s largest commercial complex, showcasing numerous international brands and boutique shops. - TradeArabia News Service
