The Grand Hyatt brand debuts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the arrival of the Grand Hyatt Al Khobar Hotel and Residences.
The new 368-room luxury hotel, which includes 54 residential units, is situated in the commercial and retail heart of Al Khobar, a city close to the causeway which links the Kingdom with Bahrain. Reflecting a bold and vibrant design, the hotel offers an ideal destination for business travellers to the two important destinations.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the fastest-growing tourism destinations in the region, and the new Grand Hyatt Al Khobar Hotel and Residences bolsters the government’s Vision 2030, which strives to attract international travellers to the Kingdom. Located in the city’s business and leisure hub, the new Grand Hyatt lifts the luxury benchmark in the city.
The hotel will open in phases, beginning with 120 guestrooms and 20 residences. Highlights of this first phase include the opening of the all-day dining facilities, the lobby lounge, banquet halls, fitness center, and spa. The remaining guestrooms as well as the restaurants Rosalie and Sakana House are expected to open in a second phase in February. The third and final phase will see the opening of the remaining residences, slated for March.
Grand Hyatt Al Khobar Hotel and Residences features 368 contemporary guest rooms, including 45 spacious suites and 54 residences, with ample daylight, bespoke premier interiors, and mesmerizing views across the city. Guests can enjoy the comforts of home, including a flat-screen television, complimentary high-speed internet access, a work desk, a Hyatt Grand Bed, and elegant bathrooms.
All suites include exclusive access to the Grand Club Lounge, which provides a refined and relaxing ambiance with personal services and culinary highlights throughout the day. Further, guests looking for more space are invited to do so in the 138-square-meter Diplomat Suite, featuring a separate living room, dining area, and kitchenette.
The hotel also offers a broad selection of dining experiences featuring a choice of captivating Arabian, European, and Asian infused dining concepts. These include Asmahan, the hotel’s signature restaurant, which offers traditional Levantine cuisine with added flair and locally sourced ingredients; Rosalie, a luxuriously stylish French patisserie; Sakana House, an artisanal steak and seafood restaurant influenced by Pan Asian culinary tradition that features tantalizing flavours from across the region; and Grandeur, a 24-hour hub for movers and shakers to enjoy a business meeting or casual gathering, offering a selection of light meals and beverages including freshly brewed rich Arabic coffee, teas and the taste of local dates.
The striking architecture and design of Grand Hyatt Al Khobar Hotel and Residences sets the perfect scene for extraordinary meetings, events, and conferences illuminated by natural daylight on 2,300 square meters of event space. The Grand Ballroom, with more than 1,050 square meters of space, is one of the largest and most remarkable in the city with a capacity for up to 1,400 guests. A team of talented event planners and catering services are available to assist with every bespoke occasion.
