Hilton Worldwide has announced an agreement with the Al Hamra Real Estate Development company to take over management of the Al Hamra Fort Hotel in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. The hotel and adjoining convention centre, independently operated by the owners since 1999, will open under the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand from Q1 2013.

The 249-room property is part of the Al Hamra development, and has access to golfing facilities, residential and commercial areas, and will be in close proximity to the upcoming Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah.

The hotel will keep its Arabic fort-style villas but will undergo extensive renovation to enhance and update facilities. Hilton Al Hamra Resort & Spa will feature eight food and beverage outlets including an all-day dining restaurant and three specialty restaurants, in addition to a lobby lounge and three bars. Recreational facilities will include an executive lounge, private beach, water sports facilities, swimming pools, kids club, mini-golf facilities, tennis courts and a health club and spa. In terms of events facilities, the adjoining convention centre offers a multipurpose ball-room with a capacity of 800 and six meeting rooms.

The new hotel will become the fifth Hilton Worldwide property in Ras Al Khaimah joining Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa, Hilton Ras Al Khaimah, DoubleTree by Hilton Ras Al Khaimah and the upcoming Waldorf Astoria, RAK.

Hilton Worldwide now has 52 properties across the Middle East and Africa - seven of which have opened this year - including 10 hotels operating in the UAE. It has 35 hotels in the pipeline including the first Waldorf Astoria in the UAE - Waldorf Astoria, Ras Al Khaimah.
