Where to stay in Riyadh?

Next business trip: Saudi Arabia. The capital Riyadh offers dozens of decent hotels, but one stands out: the brand new Burj Rafal Hotel Kempinski, located in the tallest residential tower in the city.

The ‘Burj Rafal’ is Kempinski Hotels’ first property in the Kingdom. The 349-room, 23-floor hotel, situated in the north of the Saudi capital, offers stunning views of Riyadh’s commercial and business quarter, the King Abdullah Financial District, and rest of the capital city.

BusinessDestinations.com describes the many reasons why this hotel has been named Best Luxury Hotel, Saudi Arabia in the 2017 Business Destinations Travel Awards, for the second year in a row. First of all, the hotel’s furnishings have been carefully designed to include artistic touches of the Saudi culture.

Burj Rafal Hotel Kempinski’s corporate packages include airport pick-up and drop-off services, complimentary laundry services and flexible check-in and checkout times. On the sixth floor, the hotel’s European spa area, Resense Spa, features an outdoor pool area and tennis and squash courts.

The hotel Burj offers a wide variety of dining options. There is Ottoman cuisine at the exquisite Tuğra restaurant, and there is Le Bijou, a spacious, French-concept lounge that serves classic dishes with an innovative twist. El Capitolio is the hotel’s exclusive cigar lounge; the Aroma restaurant offers a luxury buffet.
