In less than two years, the leading group of hotels in the Middle East expects to double its portfolio from the 21 properties already in operation. The strategy is to have a property located within every key city in the Middle East. The Chairman of Rotana Hotels, Nasser Al Nowais, adds: “We have ended 2005 with the launch of our new brand of hotels, Centro, which is a well needed product in the Middle East and we are going through 2006 with additional Rotana Hotels across the Middle East bringing our portfolio to 42 properties. This expansion is taking us into new markets such as Jordan and Bahrain as well as increasing our portfolio in the UAE”.In less than two years, the leading group of hotels in the Middle East expects to double its portfolio from the 21 properties already in operation.
