It’s a concept designed to help guests stay on track with their routines — especially useful when you’re on the go during a major global event.

Both hotels are part of the ongoing transformation of King Abdullah Sports City, which is being positioned as a comprehensive lifestyle and sports hub. Beyond the stadiums, the site will include:

  • A fan zone
  • Retail outlets
  • Sports academies
  • Multi-purpose event venues

Backed by the Ministry of Sport, this broader development is a key part of Saudi Arabia’s evolving visitor experience — especially with the world’s attention turning toward the Kingdom in the lead-up to 2034.
