InterContinental Hotels Riyadh

I was booked by a colleague, and this was my first time staying at a luxury hotel—really impressed! The interior has seen some years, but it’s well-maintained with a classic elegance that still feels upscale. Cleanliness was outstanding—every corner felt fresh and spotless. The location isn’t the most convenient; there aren’t many dining options nearby, and getting around by taxi can add up in cost. However, the service stood out—staff were friendly, professional, and always attentive. Housekeeping staff were particularly pleasant and efficient. Breakfast and dinner offerings were exceptional, especially the snacks—variety, quality, and presentation were all top-notch. It’s definitely worth it if you’re looking for a refined experience, even with the slightly higher transport costs. A great value for a high-end stay.

Radisson Blu Hotel, Riyadh

I stayed at Radisson Blu Hotel in Riyadh and had a generally positive experience. The location is convenient, the staff are friendly and efficient, and the value for money is excellent. That said, I should mention that the hotel exterior is covered with construction barriers, which gives off a slightly dull and overwhelming vibe from the outside. Once inside, the interior lighting feels quite dim, making it hard to stay energized for long periods—definitely not ideal if you're looking for a vibrant atmosphere for business travel. However, if your goal is relaxation and unwinding, this place works well for a few days of rest. Overall, I’d recommend it for travelers seeking calm and comfort, though those needing a more stimulating environment might find it a bit too low-key.

The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh

Staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh for the second time was just as delightful as the first. The service here is genuinely exceptional—every staff member greets you with warmth and a genuine smile, making you feel truly welcomed. The breakfast spread is incredibly diverse, offering everything from local delicacies to international favorites. My personal highlight was the café on the first floor—perfectly paired black coffee with an exquisite dessert. It’s the ideal spot to unwind in the afternoon. Plus, being just steps away from a major shopping center makes it super convenient for both leisure and business travelers. The location is excellent, the ambiance luxurious, and the attention to detail impeccable. This hotel consistently delivers a premium experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back.
