Situated 45km from King Fahd International Airport, the hotel will also boast a wellness centre and business and meeting facilities.

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts market managing director in Türkiye, the Middle East and Africa Panos Loupasis said: “Ramada Encore by Wyndham Al Khobar Corniche embodies the brand's ethos of contemporary comfort and warm hospitality.

“This latest opening marks an important step in our expansion in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where we recently re-introduced direct franchising and management rights for our Ramada brand and are investing in local resources to complement our growth.

“There is a significant need for high-quality mid-scale hotels in the Kingdom and we are committed to ensuring we make hotel travel more inclusive and less exclusive.”

The company has a portfolio of 13 operational hotels in the country under the Ramada Encore, Howard Johnson, Super 8, Hawthorn Suites, Wyndham Garden and Ramada by Wyndham brands.
