Featuring 80 spacious rooms and 140 fully equipped apartments, Marriott Executive Apartments is the first five-star full-serviced hotel at Riyadh Diplomatic Quarter. Situated at the Diplomatic Quarter in Riyadh, Marriott International along with Dur Hospitality unveiled Marriott Executive Apartments. The complex is strategically located in the heart of one of the most sought-after areas in the city with easy access to key embassies and major corporate headquarters. The deluxe rooms feature modern décor and ample work space, allowing guests to stay connected with in-room technology including high speed Wi-Fi and bedside USB outlets. Guests staying in one of the six Premium Suites or the Presidential Suite can enrich their experience at M Club Lounge offering an international buffet and local specialties throughout the day. With state-of-the-art business facilities and innovative spaces that seamlessly blend work and play, the hotel caters to the needs of both business and leisure travellers.

“We are delighted to enhance our footprint in Saudi Arabia with the opening of two strategically important hotels that not only complement each other but also deliver very distinct brand experiences. Saudi Arabia continues to be one of our key markets and we are proud to further strengthen our partnership with Dur Hospitality,” said Alex Kyriakidis, President and Managing Director—Middle East & Africa, Marriott International. Meeting the highest standards for energy and environmental (LEED) gold certification requirements, the hotel amplifies useful daylight via a complex reflection process. It can decrease its illumination needs during the day. Plentiful shaded areas and the building’s structure allow for natural ventilation, thereby reducing the need for air conditioning and additional cooling. The hotel is inspired by the scenic Wadi Hanifa, a desert oasis running through Riyadh. The low-rise hotel resembles the smooth, dry canyon walls that make for a dramatic arrival experience. Once you step inside, the waterways guide the way into the heart of the building, ushering guests through the arrival court into the palm dotted oasis.
