UAE-headquartered Rotana announces UK...

Centro New Malden is set to open in 2023 and Centro Kingston will open in 2024

Rotana has confirmed that it will enter the UK market with the launch of two new properties under its affordable hotel and serviced apartment brand, Centro.

Centro New Malden and Centro Kingston are part of a wider agreement to develop up to 1,500 keys over multiple sites across the greater London region, all under the Centro brand.

Set to launch in 2023, Centro New Malden includes 70 apartments furnished to a four-star hotel standard with fully equipped kitchens and separate living and bedroom areas. Situated opposite New Malden Railway Station, in the London Borough of Kingston Upon Thames, guests staying at the serviced apartments will have easy access to Central London in under 25 minutes.

The second property, Centro Kingston, is located along the north edge of Coombe Road in Kingston upon Thames and is in close proximity to the Kingston Town Centre, Kingston Hospital and Richmond Park.

Opening in 2024, the property features 31 apartments, each designed to maximise space, light and efficiency, and featuring smart technology and in-room entertainment.

Rotana president and CEO Guy Hutchinson said: “This is a fantastic milestone for Rotana, and we're delighted to be partnering with CNM Estates to bring our award-winning hospitality services to the United Kingdom. London remains one of the world’s largest business hubs and a key market for us as we continue expanding our footprint globally.

"Launching in two vibrant locations in London, both properties will welcome guests to enjoy the diverse offerings of the city while having unique living spaces that provide both finesse and functionality. We look forward to continuing building our success story, in line with our mission to deliver 'Treasured Times' to our guests across the world.”
