Riyadh’s hotel scene is set to welcome three new internationally branded properties, with developments planned across Al Nafel, Al Sahafa and Al Muhammadiyah.
Amsa Hospitality and Artal Hotels have signed management agreements for the three hotels, while Artal has also entered into a memorandum of understanding with Hyatt. The properties are expected to join Hyatt’s portfolio, although the individual hotel brands have not yet been revealed.
Rather than repeating the same concept in three locations, each hotel will offer a different style of stay.
The Al Nafel property will be built from the ground up as a 70-unit, all-suite hotel. Suites will range from 35 to 72 square metres, with a restaurant and café also planned. The spacious accommodation could make it particularly appealing to families, business travellers and guests planning longer stays in Riyadh.
In Al Sahafa, an existing property will be converted and rebranded. The hotel will feature 131 rooms and suites, including a royal suite, alongside a restaurant, two large meeting rooms, a gym and a spa. As the largest of the three developments, it is expected to cater to a mix of business, leisure and extended-stay guests.
The third hotel will be located on Takhassusi Street in Al Muhammadiyah. It will have 99 rooms and suites, two dining venues, five event spaces and a selection of leisure and wellness facilities. Its meeting and event areas will allow it to host celebrations and corporate gatherings as well as overnight guests.
Together, the properties will add 300 rooms and suites to Riyadh’s growing hospitality market. The hotels are expected to open or complete their conversions in phases, with all three planned to operate under Hyatt brands by the end of 2026.
Final hotel names, specific Hyatt brands and individual opening dates are yet to be announced.
