IHG and Ashaad Company to Add 1700 Rooms to Saudi Arabia’s Hospitality Sector

A partnership between IHG Hotels & Resorts and Ashaad Company will see the development of three new hotels in Saudi Arabia, adding 1700 rooms to the country’s hospitality sector.

IHG Hotels & Resorts, in collaboration with Ashaad Company, a Saudi real estate developer, has released plans for three new hotel establishments in Saudi Arabia. The hotels, Hotel Indigo Jeddah Gate, InterContinental Al Khobar Al Hamra, and voco Al Khobar Al Andalus, will be located across Jeddah and Al Khobar. The development supports IHG’s expansion strategy and aligns with Saudi Vision 2030.

The trio of hotels is projected to open between 2028 and 2030, collectively contributing over 1,700 rooms to IHG’s growing portfolio in Saudi Arabia. The properties will be managed under IHG’s operation, expanding the group’s reach in vital cities across the kingdom.

InterContinental Al Khobar Al Hamra, a 326-room hotel, will be established adjacent to the Al Shubaily Grand Mall in Al Khobar. The hotel aims to offer luxury hospitality in the Eastern Province and serve both business and leisure guests.

voco Al Khobar Al Andalus, the newest addition to IHG’s fastest-growing premium brand, will feature 717 rooms. The property will be close to key attractions like the Corniche, catering to the city’s increasing mix of business and leisure demand.

Hotel Indigo Jeddah Gate will have 700 rooms and be situated within a mixed-use development encompassing residential, commercial, and hospitality components. The hotel aims to cater to the growing demand for modern, lifestyle-driven hospitality in southern Jeddah.

IHG currently operates 45 hotels across six brands in Saudi Arabia, with another 49 hotels in the pipeline set to open within the next three to five years.
