The design-focused Jareed Hotel is a beautiful boutique stay with local flair and a home-away-from-home feel…
Looking to check-in to Riyadh’s best hotel? Then you need to know about Jareed Hotel. This Saudi-born, design-led hotel is a boutique stay that opened last year at The Boulevard. A product of luxury Saudi hospitality brand, NMR, it’s a centrally located address that’s packed with personality.
The property’s small size adds to its boutique feel, but there’s a grandeur once you step inside that comes from meticulous attention to detail in the design. Sumptuous surroundings start from the double height lobby, where shades of regal sapphire blue are laced with dark woods and brass features.
