Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh is slated to open in Saudi Arabia this summer. Designed by Oger International, the hotel’s stately architecture is modeled after traditional palaces and elegant Arabian residences, with ochre facades blending with the verdant landscape of the gardens. Meanwhile, native palms, 600-year old olive trees from Lebanon, and water fountains provide an oasis.
Outfitted in vibrant colors and ethnic textures of the region, the hotel’s 493 guestrooms include 49 two-bedroom Royal Suites and 50 two-bedroom Executive Suites. F&B options include a signature restaurant, pan-Asian and Italian venues, international buffet, lobby lounge, and piano lounge. Meanwhile, the hotel offers more than 62,000 square feet of conference space, including two colossal ballrooms in a separate wing, as well as two restaurants catering specifically to event attendees.
Other amenities include an indoor pool, health club and spa, tennis courts, a six-lane bowling alley, private helipad, and a fully equipped intensive care unit.
