IHG Hotels & Resorts Signs First EVEN Hotel in the Middle East

IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to launch its first Middle East EVEN Hotel in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The wellness-focused lifestyle brand aims to redefine the concept of “travel well” in the region. The new hotel will open in January 2029 in a partnership with Marassi Al Bahr Development Company, a subsidiary of the Al Khaldi Holding group of companies.

The EVEN Hotel Dammam is designed to provide its guests with fulfilling, inclusive, and personal wellness experiences. The hotel features in-room wellness zones, various food and drink options, and state-of-the-art fitness and recreation facilities. The hotel is further designed to adapt to the guests’ evolving needs, balancing productivity, relaxation, and connection.

Located in the King Abdullah Civic Center in Dammam, the hotel will provide direct access to government buildings, cultural institutions, and commercial zones, enhancing the area’s status as a growing civic and business hub.

The city of Dammam, the commercial heart of the Eastern Province, offers considerable potential for business and leisure travelers. IHG Hotels & Resorts already operates 45 hotels across six brands in Saudi Arabia, and this new signing continues to strengthen its presence in the Eastern region.

The EVEN Hotel Dammam launch aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 tourism and lifestyle ambitions. The signing marks the brand’s debut in the Middle East and sets the stage for IHG Hotels & Resorts’ future growth in the region. With this new addition, IHG Hotels & Resorts continues to expand its portfolio, with 47 hotels currently in the development pipeline and set to open within the next three to five years.
