Originally built for the Saudi royal family, Waldorf Astoria Jeddah – Qasr Al Sharq (meaning Palace of the Orient) views the Red Sea from the corniche of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Guests in the commercial city for business or leisure experience the opulence of a truly regal lifestyle joined with the service traditions of Waldorf Astoria. Interiors by the firm behind Dubai’s Burj Al Arab include the finest Italian furniture, intricate wall decor, and gold-leaf ceilings. Royal trappings hand-picked for every suite include gold-embroidered 600-thread-count linens, Hermes and Acqua di Parma toiletries, and private butlers who cater to every need and whim.

For business travelers, all 38 suites also come with sophisticated communication and data technology to ensure a productive stay. For meetings, seven themed boardrooms for up to 36 delegates pay homage to the world’s economic powerhouses. From the British Windsor Room to the Japanese Kyoto Room, all provide the latest in communications, networking, and audiovisual technology.

Private dining calls on the chefs at the restaurants Mataam al Sharq for Middle Eastern delicacies and Aromi for contemporary Italian à la carte cuisine with a Venetian emphasis, while the lobby lounge, Al Shurfa, entertains with an all-day dining menu and a connoisseur’s selection of teas and coffees. For guests in search of rest and recreation, an indoor pool with retractable glass roof, three tennis courts, a fitness area, hammam, and ladies-only spa enhances every stay. All guests of the Waldorf Astoria Jeddah also enjoy access to the facilities of Jeddah Hilton, located right next door.
