Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh sits in the Kingdom Centre complex in the Olaya district, the same landmark that holds the Sky Bridge observation deck and a shopping mall. It has 276 rooms and suites, a full-service spa and health club, an outdoor pool and several places to eat and drink, including Café Boulud, Obaya Lounge and Tonic Bar. It is the city’s clearest splurge for a first visit, with a central location, a strong service reputation and everything on site.
Location and getting around
The hotel is inside Kingdom Centre in Al Olaya, so the Sky Bridge and the mall are in the same complex and Olaya’s restaurants and offices are on the doorstep. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the easiest way to reach the older sights, with Masmak Fortress, the National Museum and Murabba Palace a short drive away and Diriyah on the north-west edge of the city. A shuttle from the airport can be arranged on request for an extra charge.
The rooms
Room types run from Superior and Deluxe rooms with king or twin beds to Executive and Presidential suites, with the entry rooms a generous size for a city hotel. The spa has a sauna, steam room and hot tub, there is a 24-hour gym, and the outdoor pool has limited daily hours, so check them before planning a swim. Dining on site makes it easy to stay in on a tired evening, and the mall below has shops and cafés.
Good to know
Check-in is from mid-afternoon and check-out is at noon, with contactless options. Valet parking and breakfast carry extra charges, and a Continental breakfast is not included in every rate, so compare rates carefully. It is best for couples, business travellers and anyone who wants a polished base with the Sky Bridge at hand, and rates are high, particularly during Riyadh Season and big events, so book early.
