Quote: Imagine a business trip where returning to your hotel feels like coming home. This is the experience and warm Arabian hospitality of Sheraton Riyadh.

Centrally located, 5km from the diplomatic quarter and 30km from the airport, Sheraton Riyadh offers 182 newly renovated, cozy yet modern rooms and villas. With an emphasis on the business traveler, facilities are fitting. A fully equipped business centre, in-room Internet connection, and a conference centre seating up to 350 guests—all makes business seem like a pleasure.

After a productive business day, an inviting array of facilities await. From an energetic workout in the gym to a dip in the pool, a game of basketball, tennis or billiards, a stress-relieving massage, or steam session, this hotel has the key to all your travel needs.

Feeding your hunger is easy with Riyadh’s best Italian restaurant, La Piazza, located in the hotel foyer. Indulge in the mouth-watering Mediterranean salad bar (only 50SR/10.50Euro) or enjoy the delicacies in the comfort of your own room (spaghetti bolognese 45SR/9.50Eruo). Al Bustan offers international buffets with theme nights (Lebanese night and seafood night), being held throughout the week or tet-a-tete over coffee and cake in the buzzing, popular Lobby Lounge.

You get the sense that this Sheraton property is one of the few that really cares about you as their guest (even the telephone operator welcomed me back with glee on my stay). There’s also a compassionate emphasis on the ‘Check-Out for Children’ program, where $1 is added to your final bill as a donation to UNICEF to help raise funds for life-saving immunization work for children the world over, support I’d not felt at any other Sheraton hotel around the world.

Sheraton Riyadh truly is ‘your home away from home’.


Room Service: Coffee 13.50SR/3euro, Club Sandwich 46SR/9.50euro, Spaghetti 45SR/9.50euro
