The Rose Rayhaan by Rotana hotel is an impressive 333 metres high and offers 482 rooms and suites spread over 72 floors.

It is situated on the Sheikh Zayed Road in the main business district of Dubai, opposite the Financial Centre Metro Station.

The hotel operates under Rotana’s alcohol-free Rayhaan Hotels and Resorts brand and will focus on serving guests from the GCC and local market.

The Hard Rock Café was established in 1997 and obtained an alcohol licence through its relationship with the neighbouring Palm Hotel.

Last year the land on which the hotel and restaurant stood was sold property developer Tameer. The hotel closed in June resulting in the Hard Rock Café losing its alcohol licence.

Management promise that the Hard Rock Café will open at a new location in Dubai ‘soon’.
