Jeddah’s Newest Destination for the Young and Hip Travellers Looking for Style at an Affordable Price

Rotana, one of the leading hotel management companies in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia and Eastern Europe, is expanding its presence across the region with 15 new hotels and resorts scheduled to open by the end of 2017. With the debut of the chain’s new lifestyle property in Jeddah, Centro Shaheen, Rotana’s impact could carry a wallop in redefining the culture of travel and hospitality in the kingdom and across the region.

While the current wave of luxury hotel development in Saudi Arabia is aimed at providing top-quality accommodations for both business and leisure travellers, luxury and comfort do not have to come with astronomical price tags. Indeed, Centro Shaheen Jeddah is designed to appeal to smart travellers, who demand functionality and affordability without sacrificing comfort and style. The hotel brings the ethos of the Rotana brand to a contemporary setting that is young and fresh in its approach, original in its presentation and dynamic in its offerings.

“Style has become the byword of our time,” said Mohamad Haj Hassan, Area Vice president KSA, Sudan, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Bahrain, “With chic looks and slick delivery underlying its high-standard service offering, Centro is an inspired concept that sets an unparalleled benchmark for the traveller who appreciates style and sophistication”.

“Centro’s rooms and suites have been keenly designed and furnished to optimize comfort, efficiency and style and are variously configured to suit the needs of guests. All rooms feature the latest in lighting options, large-screen TVs, Wi-Fi and all the in-room amenities that have come to be expected from quality lodgings worldwide” added Haj Hassan.

Dinning and delightful moments are both well counted in the hotel concept. Centro Shaheen Jeddah houses three dining outlets: ‘c.deli’, an innovative 24-hour grab-and-go dining place offering guests delicious food and quick snacks, ‘c-taste’, an energetic, modern upbeat and fun restaurant offering superiorly delicious buffet over breakfast, lunch and dinner, in addition to an a la carte menu, ‘Sushi Centro’, a new take on contemporary Japanese cuisine with funky vibes for casual dining.

A relaxing pool place and a state-of-the-art gym are also made available for Centro Shaheen in-house guests pursuing refreshment and special and quality relief.

Centro Shaheen is the first property under Centro hotels by Rotana brand to open in Jeddah. Conveniently located on Al Madina Road, the hotel is close to shopping malls and Jeddah’s commercial centres, and is and only 5 minutes’ drive away to the renovated Jeddah Corniche.  

Rotana recently confirmed plans to additionally open new hotel properties in Saudi Arabia in 2017 under the “Centro by Rotana” brand, these include Centro Waha, Riyadh; Centro Olaya, Riyadh; Centro Corniche, Al Khobar; and Centro Salama, Jeddah.
