Travco, in partnership with JPTD, Zara Holding Investment, is to develop a five stars deluxe hotel in 2008, located in Tala Bay Tourist Development Project, Al Aqaba Jordan. The 61,000 m² property will be managed by Egyptotel Hotels and Resorts under the Iberotel brand. The plush resort features a 160m- wide beachfront, 306 guest rooms and suites, most of which overlook the sea. The preliminary design of the hotel includes contemporary furnished guestrooms to be located on a three storey annex of the hotel’s main building to ensure guests’ privacy. The main building and its annex are at a walking distance from the sea shores. The main building will include the hotel’s entrance lobby and reception, a 240m² ballroom, and a 70m² meeting room in a compact layout. The lavish resort, currently under construction, will comprise a highly advanced fitness center, including a sauna and Jacuzzi; children’s club, multi-purpose court, and an extensive swimming pool complex.
