Jeddah is witnessing the rise of a spectacular new architectural landmark as Raffles Hotels & Resorts officially debuts its latest property on the city’s vibrant Corniche destination.

Accepting bookings from May 25, 2026, this striking retreat offers sweeping, uninterrupted views across the Red Sea, effectively combining modern sophistication with the highly personalised butler service that has defined the brand for generations. The opening represents a major step forward in positioning Saudi Arabia as a leading global luxury destination, directly aligning with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 ambitions while celebrating centuries of coastal cultural exchange.

Perfectly situated along the waterfront, the property places sophisticated travellers within easy reach of Jeddah’s key cultural landmarks and modern attractions, including the bustling Boulevard Jeddah and the Red Sea Mall, all while remaining a convenient twenty-five minute drive from King Abdulaziz International Airport.

The hotel’s striking contemporary architecture draws deep inspiration from the region’s maritime heritage and traditional Hijazi design elements. Intricate mashrabiya screens and carved wood latticework create a beautiful interplay of light and shadow throughout the property. This thoughtful blend of regional craftsmanship and modern elegance extends across the interiors, with guestrooms, suites, and public spaces conceptualised by acclaimed designer Robert Angell, while the wellness spaces were envisioned by recognised architectural designer, Tristan Du Plessis.

Guests are set to be welcomed into Raffles Jeddah through a grand entrance that pays homage to the golden age of travel, before stepping into a sun-drenched lobby featuring sculptural columns and iridescent surfaces inspired by the Red Sea. Intricate wall motifs echo the historic plasterwork of nearby historic centre of Al Balad, and a curated collection of contemporary pieces by leading Saudi and Middle Eastern artists adds profound cultural depth to the environment.

Starting at approximately sixty-six square metres, the rooms and suites are expected to be amongst the largest in the city. Raffles Jeddah will open with one hundred and eighty-two guestrooms, including forty expansive suites, each boasting private sea views. The interiors flow nicely in soothing, pastel-toned palettes that mimic the shifting hues of the sky and water on the horizon beyond, these elements are well balanced by subtle heritage accents and bespoke artworks. Every corner of the rooms and suites have been carefully crafted to create an experience that feels deeply rooted in local tradition yet entirely globally sophisticated.

The dining is set to serve as a central pillar of the guest experience at Raffles Jeddah, anchored by two distinctive venues designed to foster a vibrant social hub that reflects Jeddah’s dynamic waterfront lifestyle. Leading the culinary charge is Suri’O, a sophisticated dining destination poised to capture the energy of the Corniche. Coupled with world-class wellness areas, the property promises an immersive, elegant escape that honours the spirit of its remarkable host city.
