In a landmark move for the Kingdom’s hospitality sector, IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced its plans to bring the prestigious Regent brand to Makkah in collaboration with AIMS Holding. The new ultra-luxury hotel, set just steps away from Al Haram Al Sharif, will redefine opulence in the holy city, offering pilgrims and travelers an unparalleled experience of comfort and serenity. With construction already ahead of schedule, the Regent Makkah will provide breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Holy Mosque, Masjid al-Haram, and Al Kaaba. Designed to be a sanctuary of tranquillity and refinement, the hotel will set a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in one of the world’s most spiritual destinations. Featuring 330 meticulously designed rooms and suites, the property will integrate state-of-the-art technology and curated wellness experiences that cater to both relaxation and spiritual well-being. A highlight of the hotel will be its expansive presidential suite, perched on a high floor with sweeping panoramic views of the Haram and Al Kaaba, offering an unmatched level of grandeur. Culinary excellence will be a key feature of the Regent Makkah, with specialty restaurants led by acclaimed chefs, promising a world-class dining experience. Additionally, guests will have access to a luxurious spa and wellness centre, designed to provide rejuvenation and relaxation in an atmosphere of unparalleled comfort. Haitham Mattar, Managing Director for India, the Middle East & Africa at IHG Hotels & Resorts, expressed his excitement about the project, stating: “Regent Makkah will set a new standard for luxury hospitality in the region. This hotel is a testament to our commitment to offering exceptional guest experiences in one of the most sacred destinations in the world. Our partnership with AIMS Holding is key in making this vision a reality.” Muhammad Al Amir, Head of Hospitality at AIMS Holding, echoed this sentiment: “Regent Makkah will be a landmark addition to our growing luxury portfolio, blending Makkah’s rich heritage with contemporary sophistication. This project aligns with the Kingdom’s vision of elevating hospitality offerings and enhancing the experience for visitors to this revered city.” As Saudi Arabia continues to develop its tourism and hospitality sectors in line with Vision 2030, the introduction of Regent Makkah underscores IHG’s dedication to expanding its luxury footprint in the region. The hotel promises to offer guests an experience that is both deeply meaningful and exquisitely refined, further enhancing Makkah’s status as a global religious and hospitality hub.
