Hard Rock has plans for Aruba

Hard Rock International has announced plans for a Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Aruba. The government of Aruba selected Southwest Horeca Development, through an RFP process, to build the 310-room, beachfront Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, marking the initial step toward the development process. Upon opening, Hard Rock would manage the day-to-day operations of the property. While plans are in advanced stages, finalized contracts and financing details are still pending. The hotel would be located near the capital Oranjestad, close to “old city”attractions. Featuring eco-friendly, sustainable energy construction elements, the hotel will include multiple restaurants, a casino and an entertainment experience exclusive to Hard Rock.
