In preparation of its breakthrough into Turkey in Q2 2015, Rotana has organised its first recruitment day in Istanbul in February 2015. More than 170 talented Turkish hospitality professionals had the opportunity to meet the Management Team of the Tango Arjaan by Rotana and Burgu Arjaan by Rotana. The applicants were provided through a comprehensive presentation with information about the property, the company and its expansion plans. Afterwards all participants had the chance to introduce themselves to a respective related Hiring Manager and while waiting, they experienced the real Rotana Hospitality and LIFE values first hand, being provided with refreshments and freshly prepared snacks.

Tango Arjaan by Rotana and Burgu Arjaan by Rotana are located on Turkey's longest coastal lane starting from Fener and ending at Tuzla, which is also convenient for both leisure and work. The area is experiencing high visitor traffic and demand for temporary as well as long-term accommodation make the Hotel Apartments attractive choices. Apart from the comfort of a five-star hotel in terms of quality and service, these projects will have health, entertainment, shopping and sports facilities on-site and host a warm home environment. Burgu Arjaan by Rotana will have a total of 222 rooms, while the Tango Arjaan by Rotana will be a 188-key hotel. Both properties will share a host of vital facilities such as the lobby, lobby café, business centre, restaurant, health club and indoor pool, outdoor pool and landscaped areas, as well as five to six meeting and conference rooms.

Joseph Abou Yaghi, Rotana's Corporate Vice President HR, commented: "To support the rapid, dynamic expansion plan of Rotana, we were delighted to host our recruitment drive in Turkey, a strategically important market for our industry. We hope to attract and recruit individuals who are incredibly passionate and dedicated to deliver remarkable hospitality. Our team hails from more than 80 nationalities and enjoys great career development opportunities with the company, concluded Abou Yaghi."
