Rotana announced its first foray into Turkey with the Tango Arjaan by Rotana and Burgu Arjaan by Rotana in Istanbul.
This will increase its portfolio by a total of 410 rooms. Rotana will manage the Hotels for the Turkish group Dap-Yapi, which markets its properties located in the Maltepe area as ‘Residence-Hotels’.
On completion, the Burgu Arjaan by Rotana – divided into two connected towers, Burgu 1 and Burgu 2 – will have a total of 222 rooms, while the Tango Arjaan by Rotana will be a 188-key hotel.
The two Burgu towers, with 111 rooms each, will share a host of facilities such as the lobby café, business centre, restaurant, health club and indoor pool, outdoor pool and five to six meeting and conference rooms.
Selim El Zyr, President and CEO of Rotana, said: “The new properties will cater to the needs of the hospitality market in the Istanbul region with two highly sought-after product offerings.”
The ‘Rent while you are away’ scheme is a concept that is common worldwide but is yet to gain ground in Turkey. The properties provide an alternative source of income for owners. The weekly, monthly and annually rented apartments will be operated and managed by a professional system and apartment owners. They will have the choice of an extra income by renting their places through Rotana to immediately begin earning returns on their investments.
