Best Luxury Hotels in Makkah Al Mukarramah Province

Step into the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria and your eyes will be met by an incredible Swarovski crystal chandelier, hung over three storeys of the hotel. The property was built in 2006, with all of the brand’s designer sensibilities and a regal Arabian style. Its 46 suites are magnificent (especially the Royal ones), with high-end Italian linens and personalised butler service. And there are two places to eat onsite; the Mediterranean meets Venetian Aromi Restaurant and the Asian-inspired, palatial Mataam Al Shar. The hotel’s ladies’ spa boasts a unique aqua medic massage pool.

Sit in a jacuzzi beside the rooftop swimming pool, as you gaze out to the Red Sea, at the Rosewood. Located in the Al Shatie District, the hotel caters well for families, providing younger guests with the Explorer programme of special services, Rose Buds amenities, kids’ menus, special events and fun activities. 127 bedrooms benefit from TVs in the bathrooms as well as bedroom area, touch screen controls, espresso coffee machines and butler service around the clock. Enjoy a romantic meal outside on a boat-stern deck, or dine in the Arabian-style Habsburg, or Venetian-style Soleil restaurants.
