In line with its massive expansion plan, Rotana marks the end of the year of 2010 with a leap forward into the world of international hospitality with the launch of the new, technologically-advanced Rotana.com website.

Unlike most other websites, Rotana.com was also specially designed to make browsing just as easy and colorful to the color-blind. Not only does the website feature in-depth details on Rotana’s individual properties, but it also serves as a gateway to the countries in which each property lies.
As well as an enhanced user experience for hotel seekers, the new website shines the light on Rotana’s portfolio of over 70 existing properties across the Middle East and Africa through a comprehensive and progressive information portal.
