Bin Majid Hotels and Resorts, a hospitality chain in the Gulf, is scheduled to open two properties in UAE this year and aims to nearly double the number of rooms under its management.

The hotel group said its Santorini hotel on Marjan Island, the first man-made island project in Ras Al Khaimah, is scheduled to open its doors by the end of 2014.

A press statement by the group said that currently it has about 1,020 rooms. Together with the planned new properties, the number of rooms are expected to increase to just under 2,000.

The seven-story Santorini hotel comprises 410 guest rooms as well as an array of facilities and amenities to enhance the luxury design hotel experience. This will be the fifth property Bin Majid owns in RAK, joining others such Beach Resort, Beach Hotel, Acacia Hotel and Mangrove Hotel.

“We have developed a hospitality legacy through our current brands, and much of that legacy was built upon continuing to expand and building a strong brand presence in the Emirates. With the new properties and upcoming ones in the pipeline, we will soon be recognised as a leading hotel and leisure company in the UAE and the region,” said Dr. Ali Kasapbashi, the chief operating officer of Bin Majid.

Santorini is in the pipeline of the newest development by Bin Majid Group of Hotels, developer of major properties in RAK and Abu Dhabi including Beach Hotel, Beach Resort, Acacia Hotel, Mangrove Hotel and Nehal Hotel.

The Bin Majid Tower, attracting leisure and business travelers from around the globe, is also set to open this year. For its latest projects, the group has brought considerable expertise in the luxury market and combined it with a keen sense of Arabian Hospitality, an understanding of contemporary desires and a clear vision of the future.
