The newly opened hotel features 129,167 square feet of event and meeting space. The building offers a variety of dining options, including a range of different cuisines from Brazilian to Japanese. On-site guest amenities include:

  • complimentary Wi-Fi
  • fitness center
  • tennis court
  • outdoor swimming pool
  • spa
  • 24-hour business center

“The hotel is located in the new information technology area of Riyadh, that will be developed as the IT and Communications hub in the city, and is expected to attract business travelers from across the world,” said Pascal Gauvin, managing director of IHG for India, Middle East and Africa, in a prepared statement.
