Dubai based BNW Developments has partnered with Radisson Hotel Group to introduce the first Radisson Blu Hotel and Radisson Blu Residences in RAK Central, marking the brand’s entry into the emerging mixed use district in Ras Al Khaimah.
The project was unveiled at an event attended by more than 8,000 guests, including senior leadership from both organisations and real estate and hospitality stakeholders. Performances by the UK band Blue and Bollywood artists Armaan Malik and Amaal Mallik followed the announcement.
The development will anchor RAK Central, positioned as Ras Al Khaimah’s next commercial and lifestyle hub. While Al Marjan Island underpins the emirate’s leisure led identity, RAK Central is being shaped as an integrated work and play district combining offices, residences and hospitality within a connected urban core.
BNW Developments, described as the largest private developer in Ras Al Khaimah, currently holds a portfolio of more than 10 projects in the emirate. The Radisson Blu hotel and residences form part of its strategy to scale destination led assets and expand its hospitality footprint.
Dr Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments, said: “Radisson Blu Hotels and Residences mark a defining step in our Ras Al Khaimah vision, conceived to deliver durable investor returns alongside a globally benchmarked living experience. Positioned within RAK Central’s integrated Live Work Play ecosystem, it brings business, lifestyle, and hospitality into one cohesive address. Our partnership with Radisson Hotel Group introduces international brand depth and operational excellence, placing this development and BNW’s growing hospitality portfolio firmly within a global standard of distinction while strengthening long term value and confidence.”
Dr Vivek Anand Oberoi, Managing Director and Co Founder of BNW Developments, said: “RAK Central is a clear statement of where Ras Al Khaimah is headed, and BNW is proud to help drive that momentum alongside partners of global caliber. Radisson Blu Hotel and Residences is designed to elevate both investor confidence and everyday lifestyle, bringing an international brand experience to a destination where living, working, and leisure come together seamlessly.”
