Holiday Inn Riyadh: Introducing Modern Design and Signature Experiences to Saudi Arabia

At the recently opened Holiday Inn Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, one of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ most recognisable brands, Holiday Inn introduces its modern design signatures to the Middle East for the first time. In response to the demand generated by efforts under Saudi Vision 2030, the opening represents IHG’s expansion of its mainstream brand portfolio throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Holiday Inn has been one of the most recognisable and trusted brands in the world for more than 70 years, and it continues to provide thousands of visitors with special experiences every day. The iconic Holiday Inn brand offers exceptional experiences that are visible and felt in the new active, open lobby (with a mix of spaces to lounge, dine, and work), elevated food & drink options, and modernised design. Holiday Inn has established industry standards and continues to meet the changing needs of guests. The restaurant, bar and reception area are all combined into a single, airy, cohesive environment by the brand’s Open Lobby concept. Whether they are there to dine, drink, work, or socialise, it enables visitors to make themselves at home and enjoy their stay according to their own terms.

A Middle Eastern first, the Holiday Inn Open Lobby
Holiday Inn Riyadh The Business District, which recently debuted in Saudi Arabia, boasts the first Open Lobby that defines the brand and is the ideal example of the contemporary public spaces for which Holiday Inn has been known throughout the world.

The Open Lobby, which was created with the demands of the contemporary traveller in mind, will provide a lively social space where guests can unwind and connect with friends, family, or other travellers. A modern media lounge for relaxing with friends, a coffee bar for catching up over a fast snack and an e-lounge for those who need to catch up on the day’s news or work while still participating in the social atmosphere of the space are all included in the public area. Guests will have access to chic, modern lodging in the centre of the Business District, only ten minutes from King Khalid International Airport and other significant business hubs, providing them with a “bright place to connect.”

Fusion cuisine and modernly furnished rooms and suites
The hotel is home to the Casa Oliva restaurant, which provides traditional Italian dishes as well as inventive fusion dishes influenced by local Saudi cuisine. The L’Espresso Bar serves a variety of specialty coffees, cocktails and café snacks.

This recently constructed hotel has 138 modern rooms, including 18 suites with kitchenettes, two swimming pools, a well-stocked gym, round-the-clock concierge service, and flexible conference spaces.

The spacious, contemporary, and light-filled rooms at the Holiday Inn Riyadh the Business District welcome guests with comfortable beds, sizable TVs, and complimentary, limitless high-speed WiFi. With family rooms, connecting suites, and the Holiday Inn assurance that kids stay and eat free,* families are well accommodated for.

With additional hotels in the pipeline, including the opening of Holiday Inn Jeddah Corniche and Holiday Inn Riyadh, Al Malaz in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Holiday Inn Dubai Business Bay in the United Arab Emirates by the end of 2023, this opening marks the beginning of an exciting period of growth for the Holiday Inn brand in the Middle East.

The Business District facility joins the over 5,180 open or under construction family hotels under the Holiday Inn brand that are part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ global network.
