With almost 3,500 hotel rooms across the city and the only hotel at the COP28 site, Rove Expo 2020, the homegrown brand is expected to host many summit attendees.

Rove Hotels is a member of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and says it is the first hotel group with all properties meeting Dubai Tourism's stringent sustainability criteria. 

To ensure the initiative's success and credibility, Rove Hotels said it would carry out the tree-planting with Eden Reforestation Projects, an NGO that collaborates with local communities to plant trees on a massive scale.
