Mandarin Oriental will open a new luxury hotel and residences in Jeddah Central in 2030, further strengthening its presence in the Middle East and aiming to elevate luxury hospitality in Saudi Arabia.
Located at the heart of Jeddah Central, a premier waterfront
destination featuring a marina, retail, dining, and cultural attractions, the
hotel will showcase panoramic views of the Red Sea.
Designed by KPF, the development emphasises sustainability
and combines exclusive living with cultural interaction.
The hotel will feature 140 luxurious guestrooms and suites,
115 apartments, and 187 branded residences, complete with private amenities
such as lounges, a library, and wellness facilities, all with Mandarin
Oriental's exceptional service.
Dining options include five restaurants with renowned
culinary concepts, and extensive event spaces, including a ballroom. Guests
will also enjoy leisure facilities, including The Spa at Mandarin Oriental and
a dedicated kids' club with age-appropriate activities.
Bruce Fisher, Principal at KPF commented: “The hotel and
branded residences harmoniously blend locally inspired architectural tradition
with a contemporary waterside experience that harnesses the energy of the Marina
and calm of the Red Sea.
