Radisson Hotel Group has opened its newest hotel, Park Inn by Radisson Makkah Thakher Alsharqi, in the heart of Thakher City – just 2.2 km from the revered Great Mosque in Makkah.
With its prime location in Thakher City – an ambitious mixed-use development project that includes 97 towers, a mall, and a mosque to cater to the increasing number of Hajj pilgrims and Al Haram visitors – Radisson promises that the property will set a new standard for contemporary accommodation in Makkah.
The hotel’s opening is aligned with Radisson Hotel Group’s plan to expand its footprint in the Holy City as part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan, by helping to enhance the experience and facilities for the millions who arrive annually for the Hajj pilgrimage.
Park Inn by Radisson Makkaj Thakher Alsharqi encompasses 133 rooms featuring a blend of comfort and modernity, as well as an all-day dining restaurant and lobby café serving a diverse mix of international and local cuisines. The hotel, which is located just 300m away from the Holy Makkah Municipality and 2km from King Faisal Hospital, offers free, 24-hour shuttle bus services to the Grand Mosque of Makkah for all hotel guests.
Tim Cordon, COO, MEA and SEAP, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “[This opening] represents a significant milestone in our expansion strategy in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We remain committed to supporting the kingdom’s Vision 2030 by providing world-class hospitality experiences that meet the needs of both pilgrims and leisure travellers. This new addition reinforces our steadfast dedication to growing our presence in key regional destinations.”
Bassam Khanfar, general manager of Park Inn by Radisson Makkah Thakher Alsharqi, added: “We are immensely proud to open Park Inn by Radisson Makkah Thakher Alsharqi. Makkah remains a key destination for religious tourists, and we aim to cater to the evolving needs of pilgrims and leisure travelers. We hope to play an integral role in shaping Makkah’s hospitality future by aligning with the country’s progressive vision.”
