A senior executive of Rotana Hotels said they expect to see 100 per cent occupancy for two hotels it will open on Yas Island in time for the Formula One race on November 1. General Manager of Centro Yas Island and Yas Island Rotana said “It’s taken around 20 months and 3,000 workers at any one time to create these properties, the Yas Island Rotana and Centro Yas Island.”
Both Yas Island Rotana and Centro Yas Island overlook the Yas Marina circuit. Yas Island Rotana has 308 rooms and suites, a themed New York restaurant, and an Indian restaurant. Centro Yas Island has 259 rooms and is the first property to open under Rotana’s business hotel brand “Centro Hotels by Rotana.” A senior executive for Aldar properties said the two Rotana hotels are among the seven scheduled to open before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Yas Island.
