Bab Samhan, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Diriyah

Bab Samhan, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Diriyah (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"The development of the historic city of Diriyah, known as the birthplace of Saudi Arabia, is a cornerstone of the country’s wide-ranging initiatives to attract more international visitors. Setting a high standard for the many new hotels set to open in the area is Bab Samhan, part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection. Its low-lying brick buildings, magically illuminated at night, mirror regional architecture, as do the hotel’s labyrinthine passageways leading to open-air courtyards planted with fig and olive trees. Rooms and suites feature traditional Najdi design, hand-dyed linens, ornamental lanterns, and hand-crafted tea sets. Several sleek Middle Eastern restaurants and a serene blue-tiled indoor pool add to the appeal, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of At-Turaif is a short stroll away." - Tablet Hotels
