The hotel is located near the Prophet’s Mosque, Islam’s second holiest shrine, providing a convenient and serene base for pilgrims and tourists alike.

A Milestone for Rotana

Philip Barnes, CEO of Rotana, expressed his excitement about the opening: “We’re thrilled to inaugurate the new Al Manakha Rotana in the historic city of Madinah. Religious tourism is a key pillar of Saudi’s economy and plays a vital role in supporting the Kingdom’s growth strategy. Marking our tenth property opening in Saudi Arabia is a proud milestone for Rotana, reinforcing our commitment to the country and serving all travelers to the holy city.”
