The Swiss hotel group has opened its newest property in Saudi Arabia - Movenpick Hotel & Residence Hajar Tower Makkah. A part of the prestigious Abraj Al Bait complex, the Movenpick Hotel & Residence Hajar Tower Makkah is located directly on the Haram Court facing the King Abdul Aziz Gate. Set on 41 floors, the hotel's 1,204 spacious rooms and apartments are a showcase of quality accommodation. The Italian style interior design combined with the integration of modern technology together with a state-of-the-art business center will appeal to pilgrims and business travelers. With its ability to cater to large numbers, the hotel boasts five versatile dining options. The Al Naseem is the hotel's main dining restaurant offering a wide selection of international and local dining options while the spacious Al Firdaous restaurant - seating 500 guests - is ideal for large groups at any time of the day. Operating during the high season, Hajar Restaurant is also an all day dining option serving up Arabic and international favorites such as grills, salads and seafood. Strategically located in the lobby of the hotel, the Al Diwan Tea Lounge is the best spot to enjoy a selection of teas and freshly brewed coffee as well as light snacks. Subtly placed seating for 200 guests and easy access make it a good place to relax. The Naim Lounge is the hotel's second lounge and offers all day snacks and Movenpick ice cream. The tower's first six floors comprise a commercial complex hosting 600 boutique stores offering the most renowned international and local designer brands. “The holy city of Makkah is the most important destination for Muslims around the world and with over 4.5 million visitors during the Haj and Umrah seasons, we are confident that this new hotel will be a welcome addition to the city,” said Omar Boujlid, general manager Movenpick Hotel & Residence Hajar Tower Makkah.
