Dubai: Rotana, the UAE-based regional hotel management company, yesterday said it will open the Rose Rayhaan by Rotana — the world's tallest hotel tower, in mid-December.

Rose Rayhaan by Rotana, a soaring 72-floor tower structure 333 metres high, is set to be an addition to the scenery along Shaikh Zayed Road. Located in the heart of Dubai, the hotel is 5 minutes from Dubai Mall, whilst Media City and Internet City are 15 and 20 minutes away respectively.

Omer Z. Kaddouri, Senior Vice President UAE of Rotana said: "We are very proud to be managing this landmark property. The Rose Rayhaan by Rotana team, headed by General Manager Daniel Mathew, has been working hand in hand with the Rotana Corporate Office to ensure all areas of the opening are perfected for the operation of this scenic property."

The hotel offers 481 rooms, suites and penthouses with their modern designs complementing the values of Arabian culture. Each room, suite and penthouse will have its own kitchenette, high-speed internet connection and a variety of amenities and facilities.

"Rotana currently operates more hotels in Dubai than any other single operator and the scheduled openings of the Rose Rayhaan by Rotana will only increase the company's stronghold further," said Kaddouri.

The Rose Rayhaan by Rotana features a wide choice of food and beverage venues, the most up to date technology in its 8 meeting rooms, all offering daylight, business facilities, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, outdoor swimming pool and sauna and steam rooms.
