Jumeirah Group enters Saudi Arabia with Jumeirah Jabal Omar Makkah

Jumeirah Group made its debut in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the opening of Jumeirah Jabal Omar Makkah earlier this year in February. Situated in Jabal Omar as part of the second phase of the city’s flagship Jabal Omar project, the hotel has witnessed successful operations, offering world-class amenities and a luxurious sanctuary for guests visiting the holy city of Makkah.

Located a short walk from the Great Mosque of Makkah, the hotel offers 1,121 keys of spacious and elegantly designed rooms, suites, and residences. Jumeirah Jabal Omar Makkah is designed to reinforce a sense of serenity through thoughtful service, allowing guests to reconnect and reflect as they experience a deeply significant life event visiting the holy city of Makkah.

Currently, the property offers a diverse culinary experience with eight dining venues, including the Mediterranean-inspired Patras restaurant and a lobby lounge serving specialty teas and pastries. Soon, guests will have access to six more unique dining options at the East and West towers, featuring a signature regional Arabesque restaurant alongside Persian, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, and Indo-Pakistani restaurants, and a café offering the finest teas and French baked goods. The property also hosts three meeting rooms and event spaces accommodating 10 to 70 people.

Bringing its signature hospitality and service to the Kingdom, Jumeirah aims to enrich the overall guest experience through unparalleled attention to detail and personalized service. The hotel opened with 507 guest rooms and elegant suites across two high-rise towers, with beautiful views over the city and the Great Mosque of Makkah. A further 526 rooms and suites will be added in phases across two more contemporary towers, accessible via express elevators to provide smooth and seamless access. Hotel guests will also have the option to book entire floors, which feature 14 rooms and suites per level, to ensure the highest level of privacy and exclusivity during their stay.

To complete the luxury offering, the hotel hosts 88 spacious residences, which sit across the podium of the four towers of Jumeirah Jabal Omar Makkah. The exclusive residences offer spacious terraces, allowing guests to join the group prayers at the Great Mosque of Makkah from the comfort of their own accommodation.

Leading the helm at Jumeirah Jabal Omar Makkah is Rizwan Shaikh, an industry veteran with over two decades of experience in luxury hospitality across multiple countries, including India, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia.
