About the owner: Rotana
Rotana is a privately held company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, founded in 1992. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control.
Rotana is a hotel management company founded in 1992 by Nasser Al Nowais and Selim El Zyr, with its first hotel, Beach Rotana, in Abu Dhabi. Its own site describes more than 100 properties across the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe and Türkiye and a portfolio of six brands. Its copyright line names it as Rotana Hotel Management Corporation PJSC; it is treated here as privately held because no stock listing appears in the documents read. Rotana manages hotels rather than owning all of them, so a Rotana hotel is not necessarily owned by Rotana.
