Radisson to Develop Hospitality Project in RAK

Radisson Hotel Group, in partnership with BNW Developments, has announced the signing of Radisson Blu Hotel, RAK Central and Radisson Blu Residences, RAK Central, a landmark mixed-use hospitality project in Ras Al Khaimah set to open in 2029.

The signing introduces a new Radisson Blu address to a fast-evolving part of the UAE, expanding the Group’s footprint in Ras Al Khaimah.

Set within RAK Central, a large-scale mixed-use destination planned as a future financial hub for the emirate, the project will sit at the heart of a 3.1 million square feet master development integrating commercial, financial, residential and recreational spaces.

Strategically located close to Al Marjan Island and Al Hamra Village, the property offers direct connectivity to the E11 highway, the UAE’s longest road linking Ras Al Khaimah to the other emirates and convenient access to the emirate’s key resorts and visitor attractions.

“Our first RAK Central project announcement in collaboration with Radisson Hotel Group is a strategic milestone for BNW Developments. RAK Central is set to become the heartbeat of Ras Al Khaimah and we are proud to be part of its transformation with a project of this scale,” said Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments. “By integrating high-end residences with a flagship hotel, we are offering investors and residents an asset class that is commercially resilient and internationally coveted. We are focused on delivering a development that sets a new benchmark for branded living in the UAE,” he stated.

Radisson Blu Hotel, RAK Central will feature 361 keys in a newly built hotel positioned above retail and cinema offerings, creating a vibrant day-to-night environment and strong destination appeal. The hotel will deliver extensive facilities designed for both business and leisure travellers, including five food and beverage outlets, a rooftop terrace and pool bar, meeting and events spaces, a spa and gym, a Business Class lounge and a kid’s club.
