 Friday, December 28, 2018 

Rotana has signed a hotel-management agreement with Mullion Contractors Ltd. to manage a new hotel and collection of hotel-apartments in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.

Set to open in 2022, the new property will have 200 guestrooms and 100 hotel apartments operating under the Rotana Hotels & Resorts and Arjaan hotel apartments by Rotana brands, respectively.

The agreement for the new hotel comes just after Rotana signed its first property in the . That property is scheduled to open in 2021 in the capital city of Lusaka. When opened, the new properties in Kenya and Zambia will join the company’s African portfolio, which includes Al Salam Rotana, Khartoum, Sudan; Kin Plaza Arjaan by Rotana, Kinshasa, DR Congo; and Grand Rotana Resort & Spa, Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.

The Kenyan development will bring Rotana’s total inventory in Africa to 2,028. With an eye to capitalising on the potential of the continent’s burgeoning market for the hospitality sector, Rotana has planned new hotels in Angola, Mauritania, Nigeria and Tanzania that are scheduled to open by 2022.
