— Riyadh, Saudi Arabia —
The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh Palace
An Insider's Take
'This opulent palace rises like a golden mirage in the heart of Saudi Arabia's capital, where modern luxury meets royal Arabian heritage.'
What's Special?
Built in the architectural style of a traditional Arabian palace, this Ritz-Carlton sits on 52 acres of manicured gardens in the prestigious Diplomatic Quarter. The hotel famously housed over 200 high-profile guests during a significant anti-corruption investigation in 2017, earning it a unique place in modern Saudi history. Its distinctive golden dome and towering minarets make it one of Riyadh's most recognizable landmarks.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room facing the interior courtyards for stunning views of the illuminated fountains and traditional Islamic architecture, especially magical during evening prayers when the call echoes across the grounds.
Don't Miss
The hotel's legendary afternoon tea service in the Palm Court, featuring authentic Arabic sweets alongside British classics. Take time to explore the nearby King Abdulaziz Historical Center and the spectacular Murabba Palace, both within walking distance in the diplomatic district.
