New Radisson Blu hotel signed in Saudi Arabia

BRUSSELS, June 7, 2018

Radisson Hotel Group continues to expand its presence in Saudi Arabia with the signing of a new hotel in Al Ahsa, which is scheduled open in 2020.

The Radisson Blu Hotel, Al Ahsa will be situated just 14 km southwest of the city's airport, which welcomes weekly international flights, and five minutes away from Al Ahsa University – both easily accessible through the road network.

Elie Younes, executive vice president and chief development officer, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “Saudi Arabia continues to be a key country for our growth ambition. The Vision 2030 of the kingdom’s leadership will positively transform the country’s social and economic landscape in both primary and secondary cities and we are at the forefront of co-fuelling this passion in the travel and tourism landscape. The new Radisson Blu Hotel, Al Ahsa will be our twelfth hotel in the Eastern Province.”

Located in the southeast of Saudi Arabia, Al Ahsa, according to the Guinness World Records, has the world’s largest self-contained oasis. It encompasses approximately 30,000 acres of palm groves and other crops that are irrigated by the flow of 280 or more artesian springs. It is also the biggest date producer in the country. Due to its cultural heritage, consisting of archaeological sites and natural landmarks, Al Ahsa indicates great potential for leisure tourism. As part of Saudi Arabia Vision 2030, the country plans to sustain tourism growth by investing in numerous entertainment projects in the Al Ahsa region.

The 172-room hotel will offer a mixture of standard rooms, suites and serviced apartments. The food and drink options will include a lobby lounge, an all-day dining restaurant and a premium specialty restaurant. The meetings and events area will include one ballroom, two meeting rooms and two boardrooms. The hotel will also house a well-equipped gym, a prayer room and an outdoor pool. - TradeArabia News Service
