The dynamic expanse of Jeddah’s North Corniche, renowned for its coastal glamour, has a sophisticated new resident: Fanaya by Brassbell.

This boutique, all-suite hotel, a proudly homegrown brand, is an exercise in personalised luxury, deliberately choosing intimate character over overwhelming scale. Directly overlooking the Red Sea and the iconic Jeddah sign, Fanaya captures the warm, welcoming spirit of the city. The entire property is defined by a polished yet relaxed sensibility, visible from the lobby, where a subtle nod to the nearby Al Nawras roundabout introduces a bespoke aesthetic, to the top-floor pool. With interiors conceived by Kanjo Design House, the atmosphere embraces soft coastal tones and fluid lines, creating a tranquil environment where the comfort of a well-appointed apartment meets the services of an upscale hotel.

Jeddah Corniche

Fanaya’s North Corniche address makes it one of Jeddah’s most accessible stays. Right across from the iconic Jeddah sign, the hotel looks out over the Red Sea with uninterrupted views that stretch to the horizon. Inside, design takes the lead. The hotel sits just minutes from Red Sea Mall, Al Shallal Theme Park, and the Formula One track, with the boardwalk itself offering a perfect evening stroll among cafes, restaurants, and sea breeze. It is central yet serene, a rare combination in this part of the city.

The Guests & Ambiance

Two sculpted birds suspended in the lobby nod to the nearby Al Nawras roundabout, while interiors conceived by Egypt’s Kanjo Design House embrace soft coastal tones, natural textures, and fluid lines that echo the rhythm of the water outside. The result? An atmosphere that feels both elevated and easy.

With bespoke interiors, full-service kitchens in every suite, and panoramic views of the Red Sea, Fanaya is a homegrown brand that delivers a living experience — not just a room — making it an ideal sanctuary for extended stays, business travellers, and families seeking comfort with a distinct Jeddawi heart.

The Suites

Fanaya’s all-suite concept is where its personality shines. Each of the 52 suites feels more like a thoughtfully designed apartment than a traditional hotel room: spacious, sunlit, and facing the sea. Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, or with family, the different layouts offer a sense of ease and privacy.

Each suite includes a full kitchen equipped with a stove, fridge, and small but thoughtful details such as a set dining table, olive oil, and salt and pepper shakers. It is a quiet kind of hospitality that makes the space feel lived in and welcoming. A washing machine and lounge area add to the comfort, making longer stays not only practical but indulgent. Bathrooms are sleek and stocked with Molton Brown amenities, while the beds strike that rare balance of plushness and support.

The Dining

At Fanaya’s main restaurant, mornings begin with sunlight pouring through full-height windows that frame the Corniche. The breakfast buffet, complete with à la carte options, offers a balanced mix of Arabic and western classics, while lunch and dinner bring together Italian, Moroccan, and international favourites, all served with the unfussy charm of a place that knows good food speaks for itself.

Above it all, the rooftop Pool Bar is a hidden gem. This open-air spot serves smoothies, mocktails, and light bites from morning to sunset. As the day fades, the horizon glows in shades of orange and rose, and the view alone feels reason enough to stay longer. Room service is available around the clock, and special dietary menus can be arranged with the same care and warmth that define every part of the stay.

Wellness & Facilities

For a boutique property, Fanaya makes thoughtful use of its space. The rooftop pool is a highlight, surrounded by sun loungers and open to sweeping sea views. It is a tranquil spot for a morning swim or a lazy afternoon retreat. Below it, the gym faces the Red Sea through panoramic glass and comes equipped with a sauna and even a small climbing wall. Plans are also underway for collaborations with local trainers, adding a community touch to the wellness offering. A shared lounge area doubles as a casual meeting or event space, complete with a refreshments bar and games corner. For business travellers, private meeting rooms provide a quiet, functional setting with everything needed for smaller gatherings.

Why Visit?

The hotel does not try to redefine luxury – it personalises it. In a city known for its grandeur, it delivers something more intimate: a stay that feels human, thoughtful, and beautifully local. Its all-suite concept makes it ideal for business travellers seeking comfort, couples looking for calm, or families wanting space without excess.
