Dr. Ali Kasapbashi, Chairman of Bin Majid Group, said: "We are extremely pleased to announce our plans to open up a new 5-star hotel in Ras Al Khaimah which is the third in UAE. After entering the UAE market in 1978, we opened our first hotel property in UAE, Bin Majid Beach Hotel, in 1987, and then Bin Majid Beach Resort in 1998 and now Mangrove Hotel, as we continue to expand in this potential market.

"We also intend to continue to invest in and develop other potential hospitality and tourism activities in the next few years since our study on the region predicts that Middle East will be frequented by an ever-increasing number of tourists in the coming days and tourism industry will remain robust. By opening all these new properties, the group wishes to establish itself as a major player in this region."

The property which has been designed to cater to business and leisure travelers alike will proudly carry on the well known legacy and heritage of the group. It stands tall as an icon of warm Middle East hospitality well equipped with the most modern comforts and chic interiors. The property is generously proportioned and it features all the modern amenities.

The elegant property has 30 standard rooms; 90 one-bedroom suites; 60 Executive rooms; and 6 Presidential suites. The property also has a wellness center, swimming pool, a bar, a business center and several meeting rooms. The all-day dining restaurant and the Chinese restaurant give guests innumerable gastronomic choices and the Coffee Shop offers them a relaxing aromatic Shisha experience.

Dr. Ali added: "The management of Bin Majid Group is committed to working incredibly hard to ensure that guests get the most memorable experience of their life during their stay at this spectacular new landmark. As part of the very prestigious group, we at Mangrove Hotel will continue to bring the same vision and enthusiastic perspective to Ras Al Khaimah."

The dazzling green exteriors and interiors of Bin Majid Group properties boast of timeless elegance and classic style. Thus Mangrove Hotel is no different from others.
