{"type":"city","city":"Jeddah","citySlug":"jeddah","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/saudi-arabia/jeddah","description":"The Red Sea has always done something particular to Jeddah's architecture — the light here is saltier, more insistent, and the city's best buildings have tended to respond to it rather than ignore it. That relationship between waterfront and structure is where the hotel conversation in Jeddah begins and ends. The Corniche, stretching along the city's western edge, is not a single ribbon but a sequence of distinct zones, and where a property sits along that sequence tells you almost everything about its ambitions.\n\nThe northern stretch around Al Hamra is the older, more composed end of the waterfront. The Ritz-Carlton Jeddah operates there from a palace compound that draws on Moorish-Andalusian references — arcaded facades, geometric stonework, interiors that treat grandeur as a kind of inherited obligation rather than a contemporary proposition. The Park Hyatt sits nearby with a quieter posture: lower-slung, marina-facing, more interested in horizon than ceremony. The contrast between the two is a useful one, because it describes a real choice between Jeddah's two dominant hospitality registers — the palatial and the restrained. Moving north into the New Jeddah Corniche, the Waldorf Astoria Qasr Al Sharq pushes deepest into the palatial tradition, its name translating roughly as Palace of the East, with an architecture of domes and mashrabiya screens that reads as a deliberate act of cultural continuity. The Shangri-La, also on the New Corniche, takes the opposite tack — a steel-and-glass tower that could anchor a waterfront in Dubai or Singapore, unapologetically contemporary.\n\nThe more telling recent arrivals are slightly off the main Corniche axis. The Jeddah Edition, positioned at the Yacht Club and Marina, brings Ian Schrager's characteristically spare editorial instinct to a city not always known for restraint, and the placement in a leisure marina context gives it a different social atmosphere than the boulevard-facing properties. Meanwhile, the SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard in Ar Rawdah — the only entry in this group to sit genuinely inland, in a residential district known for its coral-stone heritage houses — suggests something different is beginning to happen: a recognition that Jeddah's design identity extends past the waterfront and into the Al-Balad-adjacent neighborhoods where Ottoman-era architecture and carved wooden rawasheen balconies still frame the streets.","provider":{"name":"PressBeyond","url":"https://pressbeyond.com","description":"PressBeyond provides AI-optimized hotel content with a consistent 5-image structure across its entire portfolio.

The building draws on the warm limestone palette of Hejazi architecture without resorting to pastiche, its regular bay rhythm and flush cornice line placing it closer to a refined civic building than to the themed vernacularism that has plagued so much of Saudi Arabia's recent hospitality development.\n\nInside, the lobby works a different register entirely — travertine-clad walls rising to double height, flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling glazing, furnished with mid-century-adjacent sofas in biscuit and terracotta upholstery arranged beneath a large figurative canvas whose fragmented cityscape motif anchors the room in regional identity without belaboring the point. Guest rooms carry the same considered restraint: deeply grained timber headboard panels incised with a geometric diamond relief, bedside lamps in faceted brass-toned glass, woven rugs with diamond repeat patterns in sand and tobacco, the palette warm enough to feel residential without sacrificing the crispness of good hotel keeping. On the upper terrace, a teal-mosaic lap pool runs beneath a slatted timber pergola, olive trees planted into raised sandstone beds softening the roofline against the Jeddah skyline — a sequence that manages both shade and urbanity with quiet assurance.","snippet":"Jeddah hotel drawing on Hejazi architecture with travertine interiors, geometric timber details, and a rooftop pool.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts visiting Jeddah","vibe":"Warm-refined · understated","highlights":["Hejazi limestone palette without pastiche or theming","Travertine lobby with double-height glazing and regional art","Rooftop pool beneath timber pergola with olive trees"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$303","pricePerNightExclTax":"$303","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujf0g03h915ymo4g7jtbj1713353917700_85b1d85e-0a66-4695-bc0e-43fe12cbf4c3.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujkvt04ix15ymiogdv3dp1713353918387_84ee4cec-8020-461c-91c9-c2535d5d4301.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujqox05kp15ym1nd6rt991713353918951_94898cce-5f4c-45eb-816b-86a54c713bb0.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujwnd06mh15ymhvk16sw21713353916489_03117a12-553b-4b90-9fb1-64842a0d78c1.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk2h907o915ymxp5dff1g1713353919617_be1961b1-879b-4023-8c69-295e587bc072.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Park Hyatt Jeddah","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/saudi-arabia/jeddah/park-hyatt-jeddah","city":"Jeddah","cityHeader":"Jeddah • Al Hamra Corniche • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"Al Hamra Corniche","loyaltyProgram":"World of Hyatt","designSummary":"Poised on a narrow peninsula along Jeddah's Al Hamra Corniche, where the Red Sea wraps the building on three sides, the low-rise sandstone massing of Park Hyatt Jeddah presents the quietly authoritative silhouette of a fortified coastal residence rather than a conventional urban hotel. The twin domes visible from the water anchor the roofline in a vernacular that draws from traditional Hejazi architecture — rounded forms, warm ochre render, deep-set balconies shading sea-facing rooms — while the courtyard garden at the property's heart follows the classic Islamic model of inward orientation, its illuminated reflecting pool flanked by double rows of date palms that create an almost ceremonial approach to the glazed lobby pavilion.\n\nInside, the interiors move between two registers. Guest rooms finished in polished cream limestone floors and dark-stained timber wall panels carry a sharply contemporary sensibility, with low-slung lounge chairs and vivid works of African-inflected textile art mounted above the beds — a curatorial choice that grounds the spaces in a broader Red Sea cultural geography rather than generic luxury neutrality. The all-day dining restaurant shifts tone entirely, its terracotta-tiled floor, zellige-panel buffet stations in characteristic teal and white, wicker seating, and a multi-arm iron chandelier composing an atmosphere closer to a riad in Fes than a Jeddah hotel. The 128-room property holds these contrasts together through a shared material warmth — sandy plaster, burnished metal, sea light — that makes the juxtaposition feel considered rather than inconsistent.","snippet":"A 128-room peninsula hotel with Hejazi architecture, African-inflected interiors, and a riad-style dining courtyard.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and Red Sea travelers","vibe":"Coastal-vernacular · curated","highlights":["Twin domes and Hejazi vernacular on three-sided peninsula","Rooms with African textile art and Red Sea views","Riad-inspired dining with zellige tilework and date palm courtyard"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$392","pricePerNightExclTax":"$392","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujetj03fz15ymlhr93hqc1713363991616_d2e6e59b-eb29-4140-a7bc-56d51f1ff6f9.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Park Hyatt Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Park Hyatt Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Park Hyatt Jeddah captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujkpt04hr15ympbfgsl891713363992193_51381eef-54f5-4c2a-8c32-04612c58ac12.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Park Hyatt Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Park Hyatt Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Park Hyatt Jeddah, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujqi205jh15ymf2c8t1sg1713363990923_07979ac8-98a3-4b3e-b037-10cbd475abcc.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Park Hyatt Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Park Hyatt Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Park Hyatt Jeddah — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujwgj06ld15ym23cx1djf1713363992847_49befab1-7a8b-433e-a162-fffc82ef597a.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Park Hyatt Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Park Hyatt Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Park Hyatt Jeddah, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk2al07n515ym3zj15p0h1713363993394_d133983a-0b28-438b-b1a6-d6ddbf776590.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Park Hyatt Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Park Hyatt Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Park Hyatt Jeddah — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"The Jeddah EDITION","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/saudi-arabia/jeddah/the-jeddah-edition","city":"Jeddah","cityHeader":"Jeddah • Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina","loyaltyProgram":"Marriott Bonvoy®","designSummary":"Sitting at the edge of Jeddah's new yacht marina, where the Red Sea opens to the horizon beyond a forest of masts, the building that houses The Jeddah EDITION presents a confidently contemporary face to the water — five stepped floors of limestone-clad terraces and dark-framed glazing, the massing softened by dense plantings of date palms that blur the boundary between architecture and landscape. The landmark pyramidal glass structure of the marina's sailing club rises directly outside the guestroom windows, framing the Red Sea in a geometry that no hotel designer could have planned.\n\nIan Schrager's EDITION formula — that particular calibration of minimal luxury and social energy — finds an unexpected warmth here. The guestrooms hold to the brand's characteristic palette: bleached ash headboards, limestone-toned porcelain floors, low platform beds layered with camel throws, and floor-to-ceiling sliders that dissolve the room into the terrace and sea beyond. The restaurant shifts registers entirely, deploying curved velvet banquettes in dusty rose, cane-backed bistro chairs, and oxidised mirror panels that give the space a burnished, amber-lit intimacy more reminiscent of a Paris brasserie than the Gulf. The bar reaches further still — panelled in grid-pattern walnut, furnished with tufted sapphire velvet seating and a portrait gallery of dogs rendered with mock-aristocratic gravity — a room that wears its eclecticism with complete self-possession.","snippet":"EDITION hotel on Jeddah's marina with limestone terraces, Red Sea views, and a Paris brasserie restaurant.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and Red Sea travelers","vibe":"Contemporary-coastal · refined","highlights":["Limestone terraces overlooking Jeddah's new yacht marina","Guestrooms frame the marina's pyramidal sailing club and Red Sea","Restaurant with curved velvet banquettes and Paris brasserie warmth"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$433","pricePerNightExclTax":"$433","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/The%20Jeddah%20EDITION2.jpg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"The Jeddah EDITION — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · The Jeddah EDITION · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of The Jeddah EDITION captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/The%20Jeddah%20EDITION1.jpg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"The Jeddah EDITION — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · The Jeddah EDITION · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at The Jeddah EDITION, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/The%20Jeddah%20EDITION4.jpg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"The Jeddah EDITION — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · The Jeddah EDITION · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at The Jeddah EDITION — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/The%20Jeddah%20EDITION3.jpg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"The Jeddah EDITION — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · The Jeddah EDITION · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at The Jeddah EDITION, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/The%20Jeddah%20EDITION5.jpg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"The Jeddah EDITION — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · The Jeddah EDITION · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at The Jeddah EDITION — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Shangri-La Jeddah","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/saudi-arabia/jeddah/shangri-la-jeddah","city":"Jeddah","cityHeader":"Jeddah • New Jeddah Coriche • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"New Jeddah Coriche","designSummary":"Rising from a reclaimed island site on Jeddah's New Corniche, a slender 57-storey tower clad in a warm honeycomb-patterned facade makes an immediate claim on the city's waterfront skyline. Shangri-La Jeddah opened in 2021 as part of the broader Corniche development, its tapering form — visibly twisting along its vertical axis — catching the evening light in a way that shifts the building's apparent texture hour by hour. The tower's warm bronze cladding, arranged in a chevron grid that references traditional Islamic mashrabiya screen patterns at architectural scale, glows amber at dusk against the deep blue of the Red Sea behind it.\n\nInside, the 380 rooms and suites carry the palette of the surrounding seascape — ocean blues woven into geometric-patterned rugs, walnut-framed lounge chairs in the mid-century manner, leather-padded headboards in taupe against limewashed timber wall panels. The guest rooms wrap floor-to-ceiling glazing around corner seating positions, so the Gulf waterway fills the room as a living panorama. The dining level, set within the lower podium structure, deploys warm timber flooring, louvred vertical fins in brushed metal, and cream barrel-back chairs with nailhead trim — a quietly nautical interior register. The outdoor infinity pool terrace, cantilevered at podium level over the waterfront, frames the Red Sea through a colonnade of pale stone piers, with woven-resin sun loungers arranged along a teak deck that steps down toward the water's edge.","snippet":"A twisting 57-storey tower on Jeddah's New Corniche with mashrabiya-inspired cladding and Red Sea corner views.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts visiting Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast","vibe":"Contemporary-nautical · sculptural","highlights":["57-storey tower with chevron-patterned bronze facade referencing Islamic mashrabiya screens","Corner rooms with floor-to-ceiling Red Sea views and mid-century walnut furnishings","Cantilevered infinity pool terrace on reclaimed island site"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$587","pricePerNightExclTax":"$587","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujf2b03hp15ym4wrof77o1713355448850_c2cfbdb3-93ea-4c63-8984-0341cd210a1b.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Shangri-La Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Shangri-La Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Shangri-La Jeddah captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujl0004jh15ymyrozfpn11713355449330_4e27f257-9aa1-4ec1-b8e4-58a9ed9befd1.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Shangri-La Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Shangri-La Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Shangri-La Jeddah, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujqs005l915ymt6vkeyfy1713355448187_7d988490-f7a5-4f71-bce0-8b63b389c26a.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Shangri-La Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Shangri-La Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Shangri-La Jeddah — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujwqv06n115ym1am53c6d1713355446929_ac559f9d-9b2f-43c7-969f-9073e643d9e7.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Shangri-La Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Shangri-La Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Shangri-La Jeddah, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk2kh07ot15ymnswbeeuk1713355450023_6a1918d3-f783-4506-b834-11aeefc28e85.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Shangri-La Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Shangri-La Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Shangri-La Jeddah — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"The Ritz-Carlton, Jeddah","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/saudi-arabia/jeddah/the-ritz-carlton-jeddah","city":"Jeddah","cityHeader":"Jeddah • Al Hamra Corniche • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"Al Hamra Corniche","loyaltyProgram":"Marriott Bonvoy®","designSummary":"Directly across the water from the King Fahd Fountain — the tallest of its kind on earth, its plume visible in the exterior image rising beside the tower like a second architectural statement — the Ritz-Carlton Jeddah commands the Al Hamra Corniche with a massing that draws equally from classical European palatial tradition and the decorative vocabulary of the Hejaz.

Public rooms are arranged around soaring Moorish arches trimmed in gilded stucco, with cream marble floors inlaid in geometric borders and crystal chandeliers of considerable scale suspended from coffered ceilings painted in gold leaf. Guest suites sustain this register throughout — hand-knotted carpets in deep crimson and cobalt with scrolling arabesque motifs, gold-leafed television armoires, silk damask wall panels, and chaise longues finished in gilt framing. The indoor pool hall offers a contrasting moment of architectural calm: a barrel-vaulted glass roof floods the space with daylight while abstract blue mosaic murals sweep across the barrel vault's flanking panels, their fluid forms echoing the Red Sea just beyond the palm-lined beach. The effect throughout is of a property that treats Hejazi decorative heritage as a living vocabulary rather than a period reference.","snippet":"A Hejazi palace-inspired hotel on the Red Sea with hand-knotted carpets, gilded interiors, and Moorish arches.","bestFor":"Collectors and aesthetes seeking Arabian palace luxury","vibe":"Ornate-palatial · gilded","highlights":["Hejazi palace architecture with pointed arches and carved plasterwork","Suites with hand-knotted carpets, silk damask panels, and gilt furnishings","Red Sea-facing location on Jeddah's New Corniche"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$785","pricePerNightExclTax":"$785","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujewi03gl15ym8uhk4xnm1713354421754_3e2d81f0-4e0b-477a-9d4a-3786925091e1.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujksz04id15ymepjpru6m1713354422601_ca977782-305d-4c7e-9706-a0824d4f1c61.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujqmf05k515ymywhj03io1713354421005_13125c14-c8e7-4313-a382-51c295aa2f7e.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujwkg06lx15ymsu9v7cg41713354419599_106ad486-e2d9-44f2-9b17-1215e46d77bd.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk2ew07np15ym4ztyusyk1713354423326_b444f2f2-950a-4aa0-9809-311f67909577.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Waldorf Astoria Jeddah, Qasr Al Sharq — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Rosewood Jeddah","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/saudi-arabia/jeddah/rosewood-jeddah","city":"Jeddah","cityHeader":"Jeddah • Jeddah Coriche • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"Jeddah Coriche","designSummary":"Few towers along the Jeddah Corniche announce themselves as emphatically as the building that houses Rosewood Jeddah — a cylindrical golden shaft capped by a cobalt blue crown pierced by an oval aperture, its silhouette visible for miles along the Red Sea coast. The geometry is unambiguous: the circular plan tapers toward a dramatic rooftop structure finished in deep ultramarine, a chromatic declaration that owes something to the maximalist commercial architecture that swept Gulf cities in the 1990s and early 2000s. Rising roughly 30 floors above the waterfront corniche, the tower's warm bronze-toned cladding wraps the cylindrical body in a pattern of vertical fins and recessed glazing that catches the harsh coastal light differently throughout the day.\n\nInside, the interiors move between two registers. The principal restaurant is organized around a circular double-height atrium, its columns clad in geometric mashrabiya-patterned relief work in gold and cream, draped curtains softening the volume while a central illuminated water feature anchors the floor in inlaid marble. Guest rooms carry a more conventional five-star idiom — coffered and coved ceilings in plaster with gilded detailing, blue wool carpets with geometric borders, burr walnut occasional furniture, and floor-to-ceiling glazing framing Red Sea panoramas. The rooftop terrace, wrapped in cobalt balustrades with teak decking and striped cushioned chairs, delivers the building's most coherent moment: a horizon-length view of the Red Sea at sunset, the blue architecture finally making complete sense against the water below.","snippet":"A cylindrical golden tower capped in cobalt blue, with a circular atrium restaurant and Red Sea rooftop views.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts visiting Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast","vibe":"Maximalist-coastal · geometric","highlights":["Cylindrical tower with cobalt-blue crown visible for miles","Circular atrium restaurant with gold mashrabiya-patterned columns","Rooftop terrace with unobstructed Red Sea sunset views"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$409","pricePerNightExclTax":"$409","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujf6q03ih15ym16yssmgg1713354585186_c7034f9e-ba4b-4baf-93d3-7bdee282d3bf.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Rosewood Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Rosewood Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Rosewood Jeddah captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujl3604k915ymp6ezr3it1713354585740_4bad9027-1643-498e-a635-99e8bbbc9e87.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Rosewood Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Rosewood Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Rosewood Jeddah, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujqwo05lz15ym0nq94b3m1713354584601_4d50610b-1dc5-4691-8578-2dba7a0b1aab.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Rosewood Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Rosewood Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Rosewood Jeddah — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujwv406nv15ymmhp4ls0v1713354583499_07986d43-69e0-4555-916f-d83d3092f70b.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Rosewood Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Rosewood Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Rosewood Jeddah, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk2p807pn15ymjv0j71du1713354586388_3b8f432f-00b2-43d8-9f23-a23a695c7a29.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Rosewood Jeddah — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Rosewood Jeddah · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Rosewood Jeddah — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]}]}
