Accor to open first Suite Novotel in Riyadh

Accor Middle East has signed a franchise management contract with Al Hokair Group to develop the first Suite Novotel hotel in Riyadh.

Suite Novotel Riyadh Olaya is due to open at the beginning of 2013.

It will offer 115 suites, several food outlets, banqueting facilities, three meeting rooms, and leisure and recreational facilities including a swimming pool and a fitness and wellness centre.

"We are delighted to join forces again with our partner Al Hokair Group in this exciting venture. We share a common vision to grow tourism in the Kingdom and to create an off-beat, avant-garde spirit that invites guests to experience a new form of hotel living in Saudi Arabia through our Suite Novotel brand,” said Accor Middle East managing director Christophe Landais.

The new Suite Novotel will join the existing Novotel hotels in KSA, Novotel Riyadh Al Anoud and Novotel Dammam Business Park.
