"Once a royal guesthouse tied to the King Abdullah International Convention Centre, The Ritz-Carlton, Jeddah opened as a hotel in 2017, and still carries its royal bearing. Rising along the city’s seafront Corniche, it is a grand sweep of Moorish arches, Corinthian columns, and soaring interiors lit by crystal chandeliers. The guestrooms are classic and comfortable, while the Royal Suites offer marble floors, lavish majlises, and Red Sea views from private balconies. A hotel built for dignitaries, now open to all." - Tablet Hotels
