The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Saudi Arabia

Ritz-Carlton Hotel Riyadh

Situated next to the Diplomatic Quarter and adjacent to the King Abdul Aziz Convention Centre, The Ritz-Carlton Riyadh features 493 rooms and suites.
Within 213,500 sq m (52 acres) of landscaped gardens, the hotel’s stately architecture is modelled on traditional palaces and elegant Arabian residences. Native palms, 600-year old olive trees from Lebanon, and water fountains abound on the property.

All guestrooms and suites are styled using vibrant colours and ethnic textures of the region, with subtle touches reflecting the kingdom's Arabic heritage. Unlike the other Ritz-Carltons, this hotel has 49 exquisitely appointed two-bedroom Royal Suites, each measuring about than 4,574 sq ft. Also on the property are 50 one-bedroom, opulent executive suites at 1,022 sq ft.

The hotel offers more than 5,800 sqm of conference space combined, including two colossal ballrooms in a separate wing that are both identical in size at 1,970 sq meters. They are complemented by two vast auditorium-styled theatres with stepped floors and built-in stages. Completing the conference area is Aubergine restaurant that cater exclusively for the invited delegates, journalists and accompanying security personnel.
Flanking the indoor swimming pool on the ground level is Hong, the Asian restaurant featuring a contemporary fusion of fresh Oriental ingredients with a western flair, and Azzuro Italian restaurant that serves authentic cuisine from the old country.

Recreational facilities include a full-service men’s health club complete with three treatment rooms. For medical emergencies, the hotel features a fully-equipped Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with separate rooms for patients.

The Ritz-Carlton Riyadh joins nine other Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts currently operating or under development in the Middle East: Bahrain, Dubai, Sharm El Sheikh, Doha, Sharq Village & Spa, Dubai International Finance Centre, Muscat, Abu Dhabi and Nile Cairo (opening respectively in 2012 and 2013.)
