Accor’s luxury and lifestyle brand Raffles Hotels & Resorts has opened Raffles Jeddah, which provides views over the Red Sea and direct access to several of the city's attractions.
Featuring 142 guest rooms and 40 suites, the hotel marks Raffles’ second property in Saudi Arabia, following Raffles Makkah Palace.
Tristan Du Plessis designed the spa and wellness zones, which feature fitness centres, swimming pools, and a treatment suite for couples.
Located within a 25-minute drive from King Abdulaziz International Airport, Raffles Jeddah provides guests access to sites, including Fakih Aquarium, Red Sea Mall, Al Shalal Theme Park, and Boulevard Jeddah.
The hotel caters to both business and leisure travellers with event facilities, including six meeting rooms, a business centre and two ballrooms.
Raffles Jeddah general manager Fredrik Blomqvist said: “Raffles Jeddah has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the spirit of this remarkable city while delivering the elegance and highly personalised service that defines the Raffles brand.”
Raffles Jeddah aims to serve travellers seeking proximity to Jeddah’s cultural sites and marks a new addition to the city’s hospitality sector.
Raffles Hotels & Resorts CEO Omer Acar said: “With this debut, we are proud to contribute to the Kingdom's Vision 2030 ambitions and its emergence as a leading global luxury destination.”
