Rotana announced today the signing of a franchise agreement with Signature Complex LLP Islamabad for the opening of its first property in Pakistan.

The agreement will see the development of Signature Rotana in the city under the group’s upscale Rotana Hotels & Resorts brand. Located atop a bustling commercial hub in Islamabad, Pakistan’s vibrant capital city, the hotel will add a total of 522 keys to Rotana’s global portfolio once completed. Consisting of 378 hotel rooms and 144 branded residential apartments, the property will also offer a state-of-the-art business centre with six meeting rooms, a banquet hall, and a multipurpose space. The hotel will also boast two specialty restaurants and a café. To enhance the guest experience, the hotel will provide several wellness and relaxation amenities and will include an indoor swimming pool and gymnasium, as well as an exclusive spa, thermal facilities, and other self-care lounges.

Commenting on the announcement, Makram El Zyr, Vice President Development at Rotana, said: “We are extremely excited to enter this dynamic market and introduce travellers to Rotana’s unique blend of world-class standards, genuine hospitality, and treasured experiences.
