Hello and welcome to a new edition of Rotana Lifestyle – our exclusive digital platform offering plenty of inspiration on all things travel, art, fashion, food and more.
It is with immense pleasure that I introduce to you – for the first time in my case – the latest issue of Rotana Lifestyle. As Rotana's newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, I am thrilled to be part of this company with a storied legacy in the region.
What drove my decision to join the team was listening to the Chairman and Vice Chairman's passion for the company they created 30 years ago. Listening to them express the importance of delivering unparalleled quality to our guests and nurturing a supportive environment for our colleagues was both refreshing and unusual in the world in which we live.
Moreover, the loyalty and passion among the teams I have met with so far has resonated deeply with me as this stems from their commitment to Rotana.
One of my fondest memories of this region, when I lived here previously, was the tremendous warmth I received from its people, so I'm delighted to have the opportunity to extend that same welcome to you as we deliver on our brand promise of 'Treasured Time'.
With that in mind, I invite you to explore the exciting travel inspiration curated in this edition, aimed at helping you create cherished memories. As we embark on this journey forward, I am delighted to have you here with us.
We hope you enjoy browsing the issue!
With kind regards,
Philip Barnes
Chief Executive Officer
