Rotana expands into Turkey / travel

Rotana, the leading hotel management company in the Middle East & Africa, is increasing its portfolio by a total of 410 rooms with its first foray into Istanbul, Turkey.

Rotana will manage the two Arjaan by Rotana properties; the Tango Arjaan by Rotana and Burgu Arjaan by Rotana for the Turkish group Dap-Yap.

The Burgu Arjaan by Rotana which is divided into two connecting towers, Burgu 1 and Burgu 2, will have a total of 222 rooms.

The two towers, with 111 rooms each, will share a host of vital facilities such as the lobby, café, business centre, restaurant, health club and indoor pool, outdoor pool and landscaped areas, as well as five to six meeting and conference rooms.

The Tango Arjaan by Rotana will be a 188- key hotel.

Selim El Zyr, president, Rotana, commented: “The new properties will represent a milestone for Rotana - the Tango Arjaan by Rotana and Burgu Arjaan by Rotana will be the first step in taking our brand, which is already iconic in the Middle East and Africa region, to the wider world.”

The projects are located on Turkey’s longest coastal lane starting from Fener and ending at Tuzla, conveniently situated for both leisure and work guests.

The new Istanbul properties will offer a privileged city life to families and guests who want to stay for an extended period in the most beautiful buildings in the region.

Guests will feel at home in the fully furnished apartments with 24-hour room service. Each apartment offers fabulous views of the surrounding areas and is a hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Ultra-high speed wireless internet connections, LCD televisions, fully equipped and furnished kitchens, courteous and discreet staff and the highest quality leisure facilities are guaranteed.

Arjaan Hotel Apartments by Rotana are designed to close the gap between hotel and home.

Exclusive to these two new properties will be the ‘rent while you are away’ scheme which provides an alternative source of income for owners.

The weekly, monthly and annually rented apartments will be operated and managed by a professional system and apartment owners will have the choice of earning extra income by renting their apartments through Rotana to immediately gain a return on investment.
