IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the
world’s leading hospitality companies, has signed a management agreement to
bring Holiday Inn Jeddah Al Naseem, a 222-key new-build hotel, to the heart of
Jeddah. Set to open in June 2026, the deal reinforces IHG’s commitment to the
Kingdom’s thriving hospitality sector and aligns with the tourism ambitions
under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
Renowned
globally with over 1200 open hotels, IHG’s Holiday Inn brand has consistently
evolved over the years, placing guests at the center of its innovations and
earning the status as one of the world’s most loved, trusted and recognized
hotel brands. Embodying the brand’s next-generation standards, Holiday Inn
Jeddah Al Naseem will feature the brand’s transformative Open Lobby concept.
Designed for the modern traveller, the new concept redefines the traditional
hotel lobby into a versatile hub where guests can work, dine, or relax
seamlessly.
Located
in Al Naseem, a vibrant and evolving district in Jeddah, the hotel will cater
to both business and leisure travelers visiting the city. Guests will be a
short drive away from a dynamic mix of commercial, retail, and residential
establishments within the district, including popular malls and leading
healthcare facilities.
Haitham
Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa, IHG Hotels &
Resorts, said: "Saudi Arabia remains a key growth market for IHG, and
we are delighted to expand our Holiday Inn brand presence with the signing of
Holiday Inn Jeddah Al Naseem. This partnership reinforces our commitment to the
Kingdom’s Vision 2030 by supporting the growth of the hospitality and tourism
sectors with world class hospitality tailored to evolving guest preferences. We
look forward to delivering a modern and welcoming experience that aligns with
Holiday Inn’s legacy of providing comfortable stays for travelers
worldwide."
Hassan
Salem Al Zahrani, Owner of Holiday Inn Jeddah Al Naseem commented: "We
are pleased to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to bring Holiday Inn
Jeddah Al Naseem to life. This partnership reflects our shared vision of
contributing to Saudi Arabia’s growing hospitality sector and delivering
exceptional guest experiences. With Jeddah’s continuous development, we are
confident that this hotel will serve as a valuable addition to the city,
offering both business and leisure travelers world-class comfort and convenience.”
The
hotel will offer four diverse dining options, providing guests with a range of
culinary experiences. For business travelers and corporate guests, the hotel
will feature a dedicated business center, boardroom, and meeting rooms,
ensuring seamless productivity. Guests looking to unwind will have access to a
fitness center, spa, and an outdoor pool, enhancing their stay with wellness
and relaxation options.
IHG
currently operates 45 hotels across six brands in Saudi Arabia, including InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Staybridge Suites, voco, and Six Senses, with 47 properties planned in the
pipeline or already under development.
