Rotana to open first hotel in Mauritania
BY Aoife Dowling
Hotel operator Rotana is set to open a luxury hotel in Nouakchott, Mauritania, at the end of 2014.
After signing a management contract with the Mauritanian Investment Group, Rotana will open the hotel under its Rayhaan Hotels & Resorts by Rotana brand.
It is intended to be located on the southern sea-front of the mixed-use Ribat al Bahar project and will have more than 230 rooms. Other facilities will include specialized restaurants, a gym, swimming pools and meeting rooms.
The Rayhaan hotel will be Rotana's first property in the Mauritania and African region.
Makrem El Zyr, corporate vice president-development, Rotana said: "This contract agreement represents a major milestone in our strategy to expand in the African and Maghreb markets.
"This sea-front hotel will represent an impressive addition to the city's hospitality offering for both leisure and business guests."
