IHG to expand Saudi Arabia footprint with Riyadh property

The 400-key hotel is scheduled to open in 2028

IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of a Management Agreement with Al Ajlan Company for InterContinental Hotel & Residences in the Riyadh North area. 

Set to open by 2028, the 400-key hotel and serviced apartments will form part of a master development comprising high-end retail, offices and entertainment and strengthen IHG's luxury portfolio in the kingdom.

While Riyadh has long been and continues to be a centre for business in the Kingdom, new developments in the north of the city, including the Boulevard, U-Walk, and Riyadh Seasons herald emerging demand for leisure tourism.
