Experience Arabian heritage at InterContinental Durrat Al Riyadh Resort & Spa in a stunning green oasis at the gate of Riyadh  

IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies with more than 6,000 hotels globally, across 18 distinct brands, is pleased to announce the addition of InterContinental Durrat Al Riyadh Resort & Spa to its portfolio of resorts in KSA, and debuting its first urban luxury resort and spa in Riyadh. 

After a 45 million SAR refurbishment, the stunning property is now the first InterContinental Resort in Riyadh, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury & lifestyle collection.

 

Escape to the first urban oasis of Riyadh 

Located at the northern gate of Riyadh, the resort resides on 154,000 sqm of a lush green oasis with a lagoon and exclusive cascades for guests to unwind and relax. The resort offers 162 extensive guestrooms, suites and stately private villas each with a private outdoor swimming pool, six dining outlets and exclusive Club InterContinental privileges and lounge access.

“Durrat al Riyadh’s heritage as a place to escape to has been reimagined with an array of ways to unwind, celebrate and retreat. We look forward to welcome our guests from both near and far to experience the resort and our service,” says General Manager Marc Reissinger. “InterContinental Durrat Al Riyadh Resort & Spa will set the tone for unbounded adventure in the area, marrying deep knowledge of the destination with an understanding of what luxury means to the discerning modern-day traveller.”

 

Authentic and sophisticated design 

Award-winning interior design studio Kristina Zanic Consultants was appointed for the refurbishment of the property, including all rooms, suites, villas, dining venues, and public areas. The new interior scheme creates a vibrant resort ambiance that reflects the oasis-like setting, while also referencing the property’s Arabian architecture and the local heritage in a contemporary way.

The design adds layers of warm tones, natural materials, textured finishes, and organic patterns – creating an inviting desert retreat away from the urban bustle.

 

Embracing the Eastern wisdom with HARNN Heritage Spa

The resort will be the first to bring the leading Thai prestige brand, HARNN Heritage Spa, to the Middle East. Highlighting the authentic essence of luxury wellness, holistic treatments inspired by oriental wisdom and finest botanicals, this tranquil oasis offers ultimate indulgence with world-class service to rebalance the body and spirit.
