Ascott, a leading serviced residence owner-operator, is strengthening its presence in Saudi Arabia with the opening of its latest luxury executive residence, Ascott Rafal Olaya Riyadh.

The exclusive serviced residence will provide guests with luxurious lifestyle facilities, within an elegant environment and complete with efficient business support services.

Ascott Rafal Olaya Riyadh is an ideal choice for short, medium and long-term visitors who want the luxury of an internationally-branded hotel, with the flexibility and privacy of an apartment.
 
The 234-unit property is located close to King Abdullah Financial District - the city’s prime financial centre - and 15 minutes’ drive from Riyadh King Khalid International Airport, making it highly convenient for business travellers. The onsite business centre ensures executives have everything they require, from meeting rooms and AV equipment to secretarial and courier services.

Additional facilities include a residents’ lounge, prayer rooms, boutiques and a selection of restaurants and cafes. There is also an outdoor terrace, swimming pool, gymnasium, steam and sauna room, separate day spas for men and women and a children’s playroom.

“We are delighted to welcome guests to Ascott Rafal Olaya Riyadh, our first serviced residence to open in the Saudi capital,” said Vincent Miccolis, Ascott’s country general manager, Middle East & Turkey. “The Ascott brand is renowned for providing attentive and highly personalised service which is exactly what travellers need to enjoy a hassle-free stay in this busy and dynamic city.”

Residents can select from well-appointed studio, one and two-bedroom apartments, tastefully designed with contemporary décor to exude a ‘home away from home’ feeling of warmth, elegance and luxury.

The spacious apartments are configured with fully equipped kitchens as well as separate living, dining and work areas. The property will also feature 24-hour reception, complimentary wi-fi, basement parking, airport transfers and daily housekeeping services.

“As the capital city and commercial powerhouse of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh is a strategic destination for Ascott in the Middle East,” continues Miccolis.

“Ascott Rafal Olaya Riyadh is a key addition to Saudi Arabia’s thriving hospitality sector, which is being fuelled by an influx of expatriate professionals who need high quality and flexible accommodation options. Increasingly efficient transport links also bring the capital within easy reach of the key religious cities of Makkah and Madinah.” - TradeArabia News Service
