The Ritz Carlton Riyadh RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA
Situated in the west of Saudi Arabia’s capital, the five-star luxury Ritz-Carlton Riyadh is a jewel in the crown of the modern kingdom, epitomising the world-class hospitality that can be found in the country’s most prominent city. Originally a lavish guesthouse for royal dignitaries, the 492-room building, which sits in 52 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, became a hotel in 2011. Entering the property is reminiscent of the days
of royal welcomes through a grand archway and palm-lined avenue stretching up to a fountain at the foot of the palace, setting the scene for the stylish interior. It’s no surprise esteemed guests such as the Clintons and Barack Obama have selected the property as their home when visiting the kingdom. Visitors will be delighted by the wondrous
architectural detail in every corner of the vast lobby, a theme that carries on through the property, and by the warmth and care of the staff. If you arrive in the evening, you’ll find music and Arabic coffee being served. Standard rooms at The Ritz-Carlton Riyadh are vintage luxury, accented by soft tones and deluxe
furnishings, with marble-clad bathrooms and sweeping city-views to match. The 50 Executive Suites include separate living rooms. For those looking for a truly VIP experience, the Royal Suites embody penthouse luxury, with eight separate rooms for all your daily needs. For those visiting with children, the hotel can offer toys and games to keep them amused. Wandering through the hotel’s hallways evokes a
calming ambience, culminating at the indoor pool, which sits under a sky-themed fresco. Beneath the pool is the luxury gentleman’s spa — an oasis of calm offering treatments from body-wraps to soak tub sessions. The fitness centre offers 24-hour access to state-of-the-art facilities. For family-fun, head to the six-lane Strike Bowling Alley. Dining at The Ritz-Carlton is an eclectic affair
that will take you from the streets of Shanghai at Hong restaurant to the freshest of Italian fare in Azzuro, which overlooks the opulent pool area. For a true Middle-Eastern experience, visit the Al Orjouan, which offers up a comprehensive all-day buffet experience.
