Autograph Collection is set to strengthen its footprint in Saudi Arabia, with its first property in Jeddah. The B Hotel, an Autograph Collection Hotel is anticipated to be situated within Jeddah’s emerging waterfront destination, South Obhur.
While the opening date is yet to be announced, the B Hotel will feature 100 guestrooms, including more than 40 suites, multiple dining options, a fitness centre, a swimming pool, and a kids club. In keeping with the Autograph Collection brand, the B Hotel’s design subtly embeds Saudi Arabia’s rich cultural heritage within a contemporary elegance aesthetic.
The property will have direct sea views of Obhur Creek, inviting guests to unwind in its stunning surroundings and soak up the scenic sea views.
In addition to showcasing the vibrant locale through the hotel’s inspired interiors, other amenities of the hotel include event spaces, ideal for hosting meetings and memorable occasions.

The charming area of Obhur is increasingly becoming a popular leisure and family destination. The B Hotel will be located within the South Obhur Waterfront Development Project, part of a wider campaign to develop public spaces in Jeddah. In addition to car parking, children’s fun areas, investment buildings, and sandy beaches, the project also includes a sea promenade, a bicycle path, and open green areas.
