Abu Dhabi government investment arm, Mubadala, and Dallas-based Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, have signed a management contract for a new business hotel on Sowwah Island, the core of Abu Dhabi's new central business district.

The hotel will be developed by Mubadala Real Estate & Hospitality in partnership with John Buck International and managed by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, according to news agency WAM.

Set to open in early 2012, Rosewood Abu Dhabi will be a 34-story hotel offering approximately 190 rooms and suites and roughly 140 serviced apartments, all with access to Rosewood's services.

The hotel will also feature an 18,000+ square-foot beauty, wellness and fitness retreat.

John Thomas, Executive Director of Mubadala Real Estate & Hospitality, said: "We are proud to partner with Rosewood Hotels & Resorts and delighted they have recognised Sowwah Island's prime location and selected it as the site of their flagship UAE property.

''This 5-star hotel and serviced residence complex will be the perfect complement to Abu Dhabi's new central business district, offering premium short and long-term accommodation for leisure travelers and the business community.''
