Located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, the property is slated to open in March next year.

Azure Rotana Resort & Spa will offer 185 spacious rooms and suites including eight sea view ambassador suites.

The property will also house five food and beverage outlets including a lobby lounge, a shisha terrace, an all-day dining restaurant, a pool bar, and a specialty restaurant.

For business guests, the property features three fully equipped meeting venues and a business centre, as well as a ballroom that will cater up to 300 people.

Other guest amenities at the resort include an advanced spa and treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a sauna, and a kid’s club.

Azure Rotana Resort & Spa is located close to the city’s major landmarks such as Fort Santa Cruz and Place du 1er Novembre.

The soon-to-be-opened property highlights the group’s commitment to development in North Africa and beyond.
