The Ritz-Carlton Jeddah

Facing open water along the Southern Corniche, The Ritz-Carlton Jeddah sets its rooms and suites toward the Red Sea in the Al Hamra district. Interiors run large by design: Executive Suites open at 120 square metres, while the Royal Suites reach 500 square metres, each finished to suggest a private residence rather than a hotel floor. Every room carries air conditioning, a minibar, and tea and coffee facilities as standard. It is a short drive from Jeddah's business district and from the old town of Al Balad, a UNESCO World Heritage site of coral-stone houses. The hotel's all-day restaurant draws on regional and international cooking, and a separate lounge serves lighter fare and drinks through the day. Guests can unwind at the spa, in the whirlpool, or in the 24-hour gymnasium fitted with free weights and cardio machines. The seafront fountain that marks Jeddah's skyline lies within easy reach, along with the Corniche's outdoor sculpture displays. Ballrooms and meeting spaces accommodate weddings and conferences, positioning the hotel among the city's established venues for both. Check-in runs from 3pm, checkout by noon. Valet parking is complimentary, and staff work in Arabic and English.
