Diriyah Company announced during the second edition of its annual event “Bashayer – Delivering our Future” that it has officially broken ground for seven world-class luxury hotels.
This marks the ongoing expansion in developing world-class properties, which will ultimately comprise more than 40 hotels and over 6,500 rooms throughout the Diriyah and neighboring Wadi Safar development areas.
The latest groundbreakings took place for Raffles Diriyah, Armani Diriyah, Orient Express Diriyah, Baccarat Diriyah, Corinthia Diriyah, Fauchon L’Hotel Diriyah, and Rosewood Diriyah, offering a total of 877 rooms in the seven hotels.
Global investors, hospitality companies, construction firms, infrastructure experts, and sports, arts, culture, tourism, and retail representatives participated in the event.
Because Diriyah is expected to attract 50 million local visitors and international travelers annually in the future, it is crucial to develop a high-quality range of hotels and hospitality options to accommodate this growing demand, according to the press release. This development is essential for establishing the right infrastructure needed to support and enhance visitor experience.
Diriyah Company Group CEO Jerry Inzerillo said: “At Diriyah, we are committed to offering the highest world-class standards of hospitality, and we are enormously proud to have broken ground on these seven prestigious properties.”
He added, “This is the second Bashayer event where we have undertaken hotel groundbreakings and demonstrated the progress and accelerated development in building The City of Earth.”
The development of these hotels is an important contribution to Diriyah’s ongoing commitment to support the economic diversification of Saudi Arabia in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, as well as helping boost the impact of tourism on the Kingdom’s GDP to 10% by 2030, according to the release. |
