The Ritz-Carlton Riyadh, the company's first hotel in Saudi Arabia, will open on October 24.

The property originally planned to open in the summer (click here).

Despite the delays, the 493-room property, set in 52 acres of landscaped gardens, will make a grand statement, entering not only the top tier of hotels in KSA, but also regionally.

Highlights include 50 one-bedroom Executive Suites, measuring 95sqm, and 49 two-bedroom Royal Suites, each measuring more than 425sqm.

The hotel offers more than 5,800sqm of conference space, including two colossal ballrooms in a separate wing that are both 1,970sqm (pictured).
