The exciting festivities of Riyadh Season 2024 officially begin on October 12, with a massive concert and an even bigger sporting event setting the tone for the season to come.
VIA Riyadh is one of 14 buzzing zones at this year's fifth edition of Riyadh Season. Considered one of Riyadh's best places to shop, the sprawling luxury mall in the city's southwest already has a devoted following among the capital's trendsetting crowd, and now it's set to level up for Riyadh Season 2024 with a series of top-notch dining experiences and pop-up boutiques.
So, if you're looking for a place to stay, we've rounded up the best hotels near VIA Riyadh to keep you close to all the action during Riyadh Season 2024.
The St. Regis Riyadh
Perched right above VIA Riyadh, The St. Regis gives you easy access to the action with a private entrance straight to the ground floor. This five-star hideaway, cast from the ancient stone of Tuwaiq's rugged mountains, channels old-school New York glamour with nods to the wealthy Astor family’s lavish rituals. After a day spent soaking up Riyadh Season, slip into the subterranean spa – easily the best in town – for some serious relaxation. Think herbal steam rooms, experience showers, and saunas to melt the cares of the day away.

The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh
It's one of the most iconic hotels in the city, and for good reason — stepping into the Ritz-Carlton's lobby, with its ornate Arabesque ceilings, fresh flowers and plush regency-style furnishings, is like entering a bygone era of opulence. Set among dozens of acres of carefully manicured gardens and swaying palm trees, the former palace is just a few minutes' away from VIA Riyadh, with a complimentary buggy service whisking guests through a private gate conveniently located by the lobby.

The rooms are fairly simple but spacious, affordable and great for families — perfect for recharging before heading back out to explore the city's zones. The hotel also packs in a fully equipped fitness centre, an infinity pool and two speciality restaurants dishing up family-style Italian eats and fresh pastries.
