Back in May I wrote about the plans to create an international village inside the U.S. embassy complex in the Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq. Now a new five-star hotel is planned for the Green Zone. Rotana Hotels has signed an agreement with Summit Hotels to manage a five-star hotel that will open in early 2012. The new Rotana property will have 250 rooms and suites, Club Rotana Executive floors, several restaurants and bars, banqueting and conference facilities, a fitness club and a swimming pool. Rotana is a Middle Eastern brand based in the United Arab Emirates with a wide variety of properties across the Middle East.

Hope Iraq does a good job of protecting themselves from crazy suicide bombers. I'd hate to see good development stall in Iraq because of stupid nutsos.

I can't wait until Iraq becomes a safe enough diplomatic country to come visit in the future. Maybe by then, they'll have rebuilt a replica of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and other historical sites will still be there for tourists.
