Hyatt has announced the opening of Hyatt Place Riyadh Al Sulaimania, marking the introduction of the Hyatt Place brand in Saudi Arabia.

Developed by Saudi Marhaba Hospitality & Tourism Company, Hyatt Place Riyadh Al Sulaimania joins Hyatt Regency Riyadh Olaya, Park Hyatt Jeddah, and Jabal Omar Hyatt Regency Makkah, further strengthening Hyatt’s portfolio of brands in Saudi Arabia and overall brand footprint in the Middle East.

Later this year, Hyatt House Jeddah Sari Street is expected to open, marking the introduction of Hyatt’s extended stay brand, Hyatt House, in the country.

Located in the upscale metropolitan neighbourhood of Riyadh, Hyatt Place Riyadh Al Sulaimania provides the perfect location for casual leisure and business travellers and is close to many local attractions, including Thalya Street and Olaya business district.

“We are excited to introduce our select services portfolio in Saudi Arabia with the opening of the first Hyatt Place hotel,” said general manager Adnan Haider.

“This hotel strengthens Hyatt’s position in the region as a brand leader and showcases a different type of guest and hotel experience, one centred around casual hospitality and purposeful service in a smartly-designed environment. We are confident that both business and leisure travellers will enjoy the modern design, easy accessibility and pioneering service concepts offered at Hyatt Place Riyadh Al Sulaimania.”
