Luxurious Parisian-inspired Radisson hotel opens in Saudi Arabia
12 June, 2022
Saudi Arabia’s newest hotel looks as if it could be right at home in the streets of Paris.
Mansard Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Hotel has opened its doors in the kingdom’s capital offering luxury villas, French-inspired architecture and warm Arabian hospitality.
Located in the Ar Rabi neighbourhood of Riyadh, the hotel is designed in Haussmann style — the architectural trend that defines modern-day Paris.
Sporting a cream-coloured granite facade and sloped mansard roof, the building imitates the neatly dressed apartment blocks found in the City of Light's leafy fashionable boulevards. Each villa in the resort is named after one of Paris’s squares, so you could find yourself checking into the Vendome, Concorde or Opera. Inside, the hotel channels its sense of location with artwork by local artist Mishal Saad Alzaid lining the corridors.
There are a mix of 191 rooms, serviced apartments and duplex villas, all split between three buildings spread over two blocks.
Interiors showcase contemporary furniture and a soothing colour scheme, designed to help evoke a sense of tranquillity in the heart of Saudi Arabia's capital.
A central plaza connects the hotel buildings and the area will be the setting for art, culture, culinary and fashion events in the future.
Guests that want the best views can book the three-bedroom penthouse, which has a master suite, three spacious bedrooms and a dining room for up to eight guests.
