Sydney-based StayWell Hospitality Group has signed a management agreement to open and
operate the company’s first Park Regis hotel in Makkah, Saudi
Arabia.
Expected to open in the second quarter of 2018,
one of the hotels will have 286 rooms and suites, while the other
will have 344, giving StayWell a total of 630 rooms and suites in the
Kingdom.
“These two unique hotels will offer guests superb dining
options as well as deluxe accommodation within walking distance to
the Grand Mosque in Makkah,” said
StayWell Hospitality Group CEO, Mr Simon Wan. “The hotels are
targeting to open in time for the 2018 Hajj and will welcome
guests for the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah visitors in
this religious destination. We are looking forward to both hotels
complementing our existing Park Regis Kris Kin and our upcoming
Park Regis Business Bay hotel, located in Dubai. We are also
actively looking for further opportunities to expand our network
in the Middle East.”
The hotels will be located in Ibrahim Al Khalil Street within walking
distance from the Haram.
The opening of the Park
Regis Makkah hotels will bring the StayWell Hospitality Group’s
portfolio to 31 hotels worldwide and 4 in the region. The group’s strategic objective
is to have a
portfolio of 100 hotels within three years.
