Rotana has signed an agreement with Ossis Property Developers to manage a 311-room property on Bahrain’s Amwaj Islands project.

ART Rotana will be located near the coast of Muharraq Island and will feature a combination of luxurious rooms and presidential and vice presidential suites with sea-facing views and a modern design.

F&B offerings at the hotel will comprise eight outlets including an all-day dining restaurant, a steakhouse, a beach restaurant, a bar, an Italian restaurant, a lobby lounge, and a patisserie.

Other facilities at the hotel will include extensive banqueting and conference facilities, such as a ballroom and eight fully-equipped meeting rooms with the latest AV equipment, as well as a leisure and wellness club with three swimming pools, a kid’s waterpark, and recreation facilities.

Commenting on the partnership, Rotana president & CEO Omer Kaddouri said: “We are very proud to have been chosen to manage this new jewel, which will no doubt be a leading property not only in Bahrain but in the region. ART Rotana is a five-star luxury property, which has been developed with leisure, corporate guests and families in mind.”

Ossis Property Developers chairman Saud Abdulaziz Kanoo added: “Every little detail of ART Rotana architecture and interior design have been taken care of and we have involved the best firms and consultants to fulfil our vision of creating a superb landmark on Amwaj Islands. The hotel will be a haven for families and individuals that appreciate art and the refined qualities of life.”

Operations at the hotel will be overseen by the general manager – Joe Batshoun – who brings 28 years’ experience to his role.
