Rotana is proud to announce the signing of Mogadishu Rotana, the first luxury hotel development in Somalia, in partnership with Riverside Holding.
Set for completion in 2026, the five-star property will feature 321 keys, comprising 261 guest rooms and 60 hotel apartments, while amenities will include a fitness center, spa, multiple dining options, event facilities and retail spaces. Developed to set new standards in the country, the hotel’s design combines modern sophistication with local cultural influences, making it a flagship of Mogadishu’s revitalisation.
Located near Aden Adde International Airport, the hotel forms part of a transformative master plan to redevelop the capital into a thriving urban destination. The development plans also include a convention centre, hospital, shopping mall, residential properties, business park, and school in the area.
Mogadishu Rotana will be managed by Aleph Hospitality, a Dubai-based company and the largest independent hospitality management company in the Middle East and Africa. With nearly a decade’s experience in managing hotels across the African continent, Aleph Hospitality brings unparalleled expertise, regional insight, and a proven track record to oversee the daily operations, while delivering exceptional hospitality services at the upcoming hotel.
The new property will mark Rotana’s 118th property in the region, complementing Rotana’s burgeoning pipeline in Africa, where the group is also looking forward to the opening of the 140-key, sustainably-minded Arjaan Hotel Apartments by Rotana branded property in Dakar, Senegal, in 2026. In addition, Rotana is also developing some exciting luxury hotel and resort projects in Accra, Cotonou, Cairo and Luxor.
Rotana currently operates 81 hotels across the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Türkiye, serving more than six million guests per year. The company continues to expand its footprint with a robust pipeline of new projects in the UAE and international markets, solidifying its reputation as a global leader in hospitality.
