The Jeddah EDITION is a small, design-led hotel in the Ash Shati district at the northern end of the Corniche, with just 63 rooms and a calmer, more personal feel than the big beachfront towers. Rooms are generous, with deluxe kings and twin queens in sea-view or city-view versions at about 646 square feet, plus a one-bedroom suite with a terrace. The hotel has an outdoor pool with a poolside bar, a terrace, two restaurants, a coffee shop, a bar and a billiards table, with free WiFi in the rooms and free self parking. It is a good choice for couples and independent travellers who want style and quiet near the sea without the scale of a large resort.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on the Al Kurnaysh branch road in Ash Shati. The Jeddah Yacht Club is about a ten-minute walk, the Red Sea Mall is around three minutes by car, and the Corniche is a short drive, so the sea and the main northern attractions are close. The Jeddah Promenade is a walk of roughly a quarter of an hour.
Al-Balad, the historic quarter, is a longer taxi ride, so plan a half day there and use a ride-hailing app or a hired driver to get back. King Abdulaziz International Airport is about twenty-five minutes away by road, and the front desk can help arrange transport and tours.
Rooms and who it suits
With only 63 rooms, the hotel feels intimate, and the room choice is simple. Pick a sea-view room for the water and the sunset or a city-view room for a quieter outlook, and choose a king bed for a couple or two queen beds for friends or a parent with a child.
The suite adds a terrace and extra space for longer stays. The outdoor pool is open through the day, and a poolside bar and terrace make it a pleasant place to unwind after sightseeing. The hotel has no spa or beach of its own, so travellers who want treatments or sand should look at the larger beachfront hotels along the coast.
Good to know
A cooked-to-order breakfast is served for a fee, so compare rates that include it. Free self parking is offered, with valet parking for a fee. Check-in starts mid-afternoon and check-out is at half past noon. The hotel is smoke-free, pets are not accepted, and free cribs are available, while extra beds carry a charge.
It holds a Green Key sustainability certification, and free cancellation is offered on selected rates. Jeddah is hot and humid in summer and most comfortable from roughly November to March, when hotels fill up, so book early for the cooler months. Guest feedback is strong but the number of reviews is small, so read recent comments to check the details that matter to you.
