Hilton Garden Inn to debut in Jeddah

Hilton will be bringing its mid-scale Hilton Garden Inn brand to Jeddah in 2021 through a partnership with Distinguished Real Estate Arrows Company. 

The agreement will see construction of a new build six storey tower block to commence next month, with Hilton Garden Inn to manage the property as a hotel by 2021. The move signals Hilton’s intent to extend its multi-brand offering in Jeddah, which already has the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand since 2001 and the luxury Waldorf Astoria since 2006.

"Hilton Garden Inn has a well established presence in Saudi Arabia, having pioneered its introduction to the Middle East with the opening of Hilton Garden Inn Riyadh Olaya in 2009.  The mix of business travellers and domestic tourists visiting Jeddah make it ideally suited to quality mid-scale accommodation and this property will allow us to begin to serve a new section of the market in complement to our existing upscale and luxury offering.” said Hilton vice president development MENA Carlos Khneisser.

Designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA Studio), Hilton Garden Inn Jeddah Hamad al Jaser Street will consist of 155 guest rooms. Food and beverage facilities will include both an all day dining outlet and a lounge bar, while guests will enjoy access to a business centre, gym and an outdoor swimming pool.  Events space consists of three function areas of 230sqm and a room available for smaller meetings.  

Hilton has the largest active pipeline of any operator in Saudi Arabia with nearly 8,000 rooms under construction across the Kingdom.
