Dubai: Hard Rock Hotels, the global hotel brand, announced on Wednesday that they are to develop their second hotel in the UAE, the Hard Rock Hotel Abu Dhabi, with the Tasameem Group. Late last year, the two companies announced plans for a Hard Rock Hotel in Dubai.

"With the announcement of the Hard Rock Hotel Abu Dhabi, we are reinforcing our global development trajectory and adding to our international leisure portfolio," said Hamish Dodds, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hard Rock International.

The new contemporary tower hotel will be situated on the Al Meena Road, which is currently being rebuilt as the pre-eminent center for shopping, entertainment, leisure and hospitality in Abu Dhabi. Reconstruction of the area will offer picturesque green parks, pools, fountains and will provide dramatic views of Abu Dhabi.

The hotel will be designed to match the world's highest standards of architecture and environmental sustainability. It is slated to feature a grand porte-cochere off Al Meena Road, providing a prestigious grand entrance to the hotel's foyer.

The exterior architecture will reflect the importance of the landmark location at Mina Zayed (the current Abu Dhabi Port), which is being redeveloped into a major commercial, residential, and tourism destination.
