BNW Developments has partnered with Radisson Hotel Group to launch the first Radisson Blu Hotel and Radisson Blu Residences at RAK Central, marking a significant milestone in Ras Al Khaimah’s evolving hospitality and real estate landscape.
The unveiling event drew more than 8,000 attendees, including senior leadership from both organisations and key stakeholders from the real estate and hospitality sectors. Entertainment performances by UK band Blue and Bollywood artists Armaan Malik and Amaal Mallik followed the official announcement.
Strategic location in RAK Central
