Inspiring Design

A sense of luxury is present from the first moment of arrival as guests are welcomed into a lobby adorned with an emerald-green wall accented by unique light fixtures and textured furnishings that give a nod to the aesthetic of a wadi environment. Leveraging the natural wonders of the local surroundings, the guest experience begins with a reception area inspired by the capital’s desert sand dunes, from the curved reception desk that reflects the movement of the landscape, to the patterned wall with a modern take on Riyadh. The inviting lobby, a space to socialise, seamlessly blends Saudi culture with Asian rituals with a quaint tea lounge, where side tables are a nod to ancient Saudi jewellery pieces with decorated bases, adorned with lamps that pay homage to the oil lanterns, which were once the only man-made light source in the Kingdom.
