Devina Divecha, February 22nd, 2017

The Rezidor Hotel Group has opened its first residence property in Dhahran, with 92 apartments, a restaurant and a gym.

“We are delighted to open our first residences in Dhahran as we see the perfect opportunity to cater to the increasing demand from corporate and leisure guests looking for spacious and stylish serviced apartments on a short-, medium- or long-term basis.

"We are confident that the combination of high quality, serviced apartments and the globally recognised Radisson Blu brand will prove to be a compelling proposition and will be in popular demand,” said Mark Willis, area vice president, Middle East & Turkey, The Rezidor Hotel Group, in a statement.

Located in the Aramco business district, Radisson Blu Residence, Dhahran is situated close to the Mall of Dhahran, and a kilometre away from the city centre. The Residence is also close to the Aramco headquarters and the corporate offices of many international companies, and is 55km from King Fahd International Airport Dammam.

Radisson Blu Residence, Dhahran provides a range of guest rooms and two- and three-bedroom apartments. All rooms are equipped with free, high-speed WiFi; flat screen TVs; and a range of complimentary amenities. Each apartment includes a kitchenette and is decorated with a warm and light color palette.

The Residence’s restaurant offers a wide selection of international cuisine, with the gym kitted out with treadmills and weight machines.

“We are very excited to open Radisson Blu Residence, Dhahran. Our team is all set to deliver the brand’s Yes I Can! service philosophy. We believe that this, combined with the quality of accommodation, will deliver a great experience for our guests.

"Demand in the city of Dhahran is largely driven by corporate travellers within the oil industry, however, many leisure guests from Riyadh and neighboring cities in the Eastern Province also enjoy visiting the city. As such, we believe that Radisson Blu Residence, Dhahran will perfectly complement the needs of both segments,” said Fadi Mheisen, general manager, Radisson Blu Residence, Dhahran.
