This marks the group’s expansion in the Middle East.
Ras Al Khaimah has always been a go-to escape for UAE residents — and now, the emirate is seriously upping its game. While the highly anticipated Wynn Ras Al Khaimah continues to grab attention, it’s not the only property opening in the emirate. The latest global brand ready to make its way to Ras Al Khaimah is none other than Hard Rock Hotel.
Set to open its doors in 2028, the upcoming Hard Rock Hotel and Residences Ras Al Khaimah will mark the brand’s debut in the emirate. It will be located in the Beach District, right next to Al Marjan Island, which will also be home to several other hotels.
The Hard Rock Hotel and Residences Ras Al Khaimah will feature 300 hotel rooms and 395 branded residences. The mix offers luxury short stays and long-term living. This isn’t just another hotel with a nice view — it’s gearing up to be a full-blown entertainment destination, staying true to the brand’s iconic style.
Guests can look forward to restaurants, waterfront dining concepts, a rooftop bar, a beach club, and swimming pools. Plus, luxurious spa and fitness centre, and conference and event spaces.
Hard Rock has its sights firmly set on the Middle East, and it’s not just the UAE on its radar. In Saudi Arabia, the group is partnering with the Palladium Hotel Group to roll out Hard Rock across the Kingdom. The move reflects the region’s growing appetite for lifestyle-driven experiences.
For those unfamiliar, Hard Rock Hotels are all about energy, attitude, and entertainment. Expect to see music memorabilia on the walls, curated playlists in every room, and live performances at the property. The brand has a global presence in nearly 80 countries. While each location pays homage to its unique setting, they all carry that signature Hard Rock DNA.
With Ras Al Khaimah preparing to welcome the Hard Rock Hotel, it’s clear the emirate means business. Keep your eyes on FACT for more updates.
