Located in the delightful Burj Assila, which also happens to be the tallest building in Jeddah at a whopping 260 metres, the Shangri-la Hotel is within walking distance from the gorgeous Jeddah Corniche Circuit. If you want to see where the action went down for the Formula 1 race held in Jeddah, you’re in luck as this is also home to the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.

The 220 luxury accommodations include 148 deluxe guestrooms and 55 suites, as well as 17 serviced apartments, each of them featuring floor-length windows with views of the Red Sea and the Jeddah skyline.

The three restaurants fuse together traditional flavours with local influences. With award-winning Chinese restaurant Shang Palace coming into town, the dining experience in Jeddah just got a whole lot more exciting. Additionally, COPA will offer boutique pastries, chocolate and coffee, while The Waterfront Kitchen is a fun yacht-inspired, all-day dining experience.

The wellness facilities include state-of-the-art Technogym cardio machines and weights. The facility is also home to The Spa at Shangri-la which presents an opportunity for you to unwind. Looking to relax? The new Jeddah Shangri-la Hotel also has a sauna and jacuzzi, as well as a hammam with a range of treatments. While you’re there, take a dip in the 25 metre outdoor swimming pool too.
