Hard Rock International announces today it is working with HR Hotel FZ LLC, a joint venture company between Malta-based db Group and RAK Hospitality Holding (RAKHH), to bring Hard Rock Hotel & Residences Ras Al Khaimah to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This branded mixed-use development project is slated to open in 2028.
Its prime location on the Arabian Gulf in Ras Al Khaimah’s Beach District, adjacent to Al Marjan Island, will offer approximately 300 rooms, 395 branded residences, and is set to create roughly 500 permanent job opportunities. The premier hotel will have restaurants featuring diverse cuisines and waterfront dining, a rooftop bar, conference space, event venue, beach club, swimming pools, spa and fitness center.
Ras Al Khaimah represents a strategic hub where diversified business opportunities and sustainable development principles drive economic growth across multiple sectors. Known as the Nature Emirate, the northernmost emirate has established itself as a premium destination that combines robust investment infrastructure with world-class tourism experiences, including access to Jebel Jais—the UAE’s highest peak—and the world’s longest zipline.
The emirate offers investors and residents a comprehensive value proposition that includes advanced business infrastructure, pristine natural environments spanning coastlines to the Hajar Mountains, and a 7,000-year heritage foundation. This integrated approach supports diverse economic activities while maintaining the authentic character and high-quality living standards that define Ras Al Khaimah’s competitive position in the regional market.
