Kempinski to Open New Luxury Hotel in Makkah, Saudi Arabia

Kempinski Hotels has announced a new luxury project in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The property will entail a luxury hotel and will be the flagship edifice within the new boulevard on King Abdul Aziz Road mega project.
An All day dining restaurant and a speciality restaurant with its Levantine cuisine or indulging in the coffee lounge at the sky lobby will offer guests exclusive culinary experiences. An impressive ballroom and spacious conference rooms will address the needs the most discerning clients may have.
Kempinski Hotel Makkah will be prominently located in King Abdul Aziz Road (KAAR), an envisaged urban lifestyle hub, conceptualized to serve as a luxuriant gateway particularly for pilgrims with state of the art transit and development options.
The immense project will offer a noble mix of high-end hospitality, commercial centres and restaurants as well as business and residential areas will serve both the local Makkah population and Hajj & Umrah visitors.
The deluxe hotel will be excellently located in the prime area of this boulevard covering the closest point to the Holy Haram mosque. The KAAR project is directly linked with the Haramain High-Speed Railway station that links Makkah to Jeddah and Madina which will complement the pilgrim’s offer of the designated Kempinski property in Al Madina, estimated to open its doors in 2022.
The hotel is also linked to the luxurious mall on the KAAR offering the residents a full upscale and comfortable experience.
