Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced that it is managing the Al-Faisaliah Hotel in Riyadh, with reservations now available through the group’s website.
The property is currently undergoing an extensive guest room and public area renovation scheduled for completion in late 2021, after which it will be rebranded as Mandarin Oriental Al-Faisaliah, Riyadh.
“We are delighted to be further strengthening Mandarin Oriental’s presence in the Middle East by introducing the brand to Saudi Arabia. We look forward to providing our guests with memorable experiences, in majestic surroundings, all underpinned by Mandarin Oriental’s exceptional service,” said Christoph Mares, chief operating officer of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
Located in the heart of the city’s central business district, the hotel forms an integral part of the iconic mixed-use Al-Faisaliah Center and provides easy access to the nearby corporate offices, government buildings, high-end shopping outlets and restaurants. The hotel comprises 321 guest rooms and suites and a variety of wellness experiences, restaurants, lounges and bars, including the popular top floor venue, which commands outstanding views of the city.
Adam Tihany of the New York-based firm Tihany Design has designed the new interiors, which will enhance the hotel’s timeless style while maintaining its Arabian-influenced elegance. He has previously worked with the group on projects in London, Hong Kong, Geneva and Beijing.
