Saudi's Al Faisaliah Hotel marks its 10th anniversary

Strategically located in the heart of the Riyadh’s burgeoning business centre, Al Faisaliah Hotel has been regarded as the preferred address for discerning business travelers, government delegations and visiting dignitaries for over a decade. It is also the venue of choice for many high profile business and financial events in the Kingdom, including the Global Economic Forum, Euromoney conferences and the annual Saudi Travel & Tourism Investment Market.

Speaking during the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) in Dubai this week, Peter Finamore, Managing Director of Al Faisaliah Hotel outlined the property’s unrivalled positioning in the market: “The attention to detail, personalized levels of service and unmatched luxury offered at Al Faisaliah have long been the cornerstones of our success, earning us many international awards and a reputation as the leading luxury business and leisure hotel in Saudi Arabia.

“The new South Wing expansion to the hotel will not only enable us to meet the growing needs of the corporate and leisure sectors in Saudi Arabia, it will create a new level of service and luxury not experienced before in the region.”

The $50m expansion to the Al Faisaliah Hotel was designed by HH Princess Al Anoud bint Khaled Al Saud, owner and founder of Al Dar Design, and complements the elegance of the original property with a contemporary and equally elegant design. The new premier rooms and suites, designed in more than a dozen distinct styles, are the most spacious hotel units in the Kingdom with the finest furnishings and state-of-the-art communication and entertainment systems. Every room in the hotel enjoys Al Faisaliah’s signature 24-hour butler service.

The new wing also incorporates an exclusive ladies-only spa and wellness centre, as well as the hotel’s sixth dining venue – La Cucina, an innovative- Italian dining experience that promises the freshest, finest Italian cuisine outside of Italy.

The completion of the wing will be phased with the final element, the ladies-only spa and wellness centre, to be completed in October 2010; the property is well positioned to meet the demands of a rapidly growing but discerning business and leisure market in the region.
