SAUDI ARABIA – Rotana has announced the opening of Nova M Hotel Olaya Riyadh, an Edge by Rotana hotel, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Launched in May 2022, Edge by Rotana is a collection of independent properties that maintain their individuality while benefiting from Rotana’s extensive network and systems. 

Located on Riyadh’s renowned Al Olaya Street, Nova M Hotel Olaya Riyadh is the first Edge by Rotana property to open in the Kingdom. Three more Edge by Rotana properties are in the pipeline—one in Riyadh and one in Al Baha. 

This forms part of Rotana’s larger expansion plan, which will see nine new properties launched in the Kingdom by 2028, doubling Rotana’s key count in the country to over 4,236.

Commenting on the announcement, Philip Barnes, CEO of Rotana, said: “Opening our first Edge by Rotana branded property in Saudi Arabia marks a significant milestone for Rotana as we continue to expand our footprint in the region. 

“Saudi Arabia is one of the region’s fastest-growing markets, and we are on track to meet our goal of doubling the number of rooms we currently manage in the Kingdom in the next few years.”

The hotel features 104 rooms and suites that blend contemporary aesthetics with modern amenities, providing business and leisure travellers a comfortable stay.

Guests will also delight in the hotel’s leisure facilities, which include a Bodylines Fitness & Wellness Club featuring a fully equipped gym, sauna, steam rooms, massage room, and refreshing rooftop pool.
