Rotana, A leading hotel management company in the Middle East and Africa, has announced plans to open its new five-star hotel in al Ain early next year.

The new 'Hili Rayhaan by Rotana Hotel' is being developed as part of Wahat Hili Project, al Ain's retail and hospitality complex located in Hili district.

Close to the city, and in conjunction with Wahat Hili Mall, the combination is set to draw in a bulk of visitors to the city, said a statement from Rotana.

The attraction of a neighbouring shopping destination allows for retail selection, convenience and fine dining for guests, it added.

Rotana president and chief executive Selim El Zyr said, "Wahat Hili Mall will be the one stop destination for visitors to Al Ain; drawing in people from all over the region to witness the splendour that is characteristic of the city."

"With 250 rooms to cater to tourists, we are proud to partner with the modern-day retail complex that is set to become a 'must see' for guests of the city," El Zyr added.

The new hotel offers guest rooms that are spread over six floors.

Hili Rayhaan by Rotana is the first property for Rotana in al Ain.
