Residents can expect spaces that are both luxurious and inviting, designed to provide a sense of calm and well-being. Using a harmonious blend of textures and tones, it is expected that these designer residences will pivot on the idea of serene sophistication. There will be a total of 90 residences available, each with the exteriors tastefully honouring Diriyah's ancient legacy in a style that thoughtfully reflects Najdi architecture whilst also embracing the idea of curated, modern luxury.
Spanning 1,200 to 1,900 square meters, these homes come in three distinct layouts: The Palm Residences, The Botanical Residences, and The Royal Penthouses. However, there will be just 15 of these bespokely curated and fully furnished residences that have been designed by Giorgio Armani himself.
A first for Diriyah, this much-anticipated collaboration between the Armani brand and Diriyah Company marks a significant moment for luxury living in Saudi Arabia. It’s a testament to the Kingdom’s commitment to creating exceptional experiences that blend tradition with contemporary elegance.
Armani Hotel Diriyah
Announced in 2022, a signature Armani Hotel in Diriyah will be managed by the Emaar Hospitality Group, and is expected to echo the elegance of Armani's Dubai and Milan hotels, while uniquely reflecting Diriyah's historic landscape. Located within the 300-year-old birthplace of the Kingdom, the hotel will overlook Diriyah's luxury quarter, featuring 70 rooms, two restaurants, a spa, and 15 exclusively and bespokely designed Armani-branded residences.
Armani Hotel Diriyah will integrate seamlessly into the pedestrian-friendly Diriyah development, a project honouring traditional Najdi architecture and Saudi heritage. Similar to the residences, the hotel's design will embrace traditional design and materials to enhance and complement the Diriyah's cultural richness, which includes the UNESCO World Heritage Site At-Turaif.
