Recognised as ‘Saudi Arabia’s Leading Hospitality Company’, the company has played a pivotal role in one of the fastest growing Middle Eastern tourism markets since it began operations in 1995.

Al Khozama continues to pioneer luxury hospitality development in the Kingdom, most recently opening the new Bay La Sun Hotel in King Abdullah Economic City, north of Jeddah in April 2013.

The company is also confirmed to manage two new properties in Al Khobar in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom, scheduled to open in 2015.

Al Khozama’s flagship five star Al Faisaliah Hotel in Riyadh added two more World Travel Awards to its extensive line up of international accolades, after being recognised as the ‘Middle East’s Leading City Luxury Hotel’ and ‘Saudi Arabia’s Leading Conference Hotel’.

The preferred address for discerning business travellers, government delegations and visiting dignitaries, Al Faisaliah Hotel is also the venue of choice for many high profile business and financial events in the Kingdom, including the Euromoney conferences, the King Faisal International Prize, and the annual Saudi Travel and Tourism Investment Market.

The exclusive Al Faisaliah Suites, comprising 106 ultra-luxury suites in the heart of the capital, won ‘Saudi Arabia’s Leading Hotel Suite’ for its spectacular Royal Penthouse.

The epitome of modernity and an emporium of luxury, the duplex Royal Penthouse features two master bedrooms, a guest bedroom and its own exclusive beauty spa, in addition to state-of-the- art business and lifestyle amenities.

Al Khozama managed Al Shohada Hotel in the holy city of Makkah was recognised as ‘Makkah’s Leading Hotel’ for the fourth consecutive year, in recognition of its unrivalled personalised service, superior accommodation and comfort in all areas of the hotel.
