The original concept of The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was designed to serve as a royal guest palace for visiting dignitaries and heads of state.
This elegant hotel modeled on traditional palaces and Arabian architecture is situated within 213,500 square meters (52 acres) of exquisitely landscaped gardens with native palms, olive trees from Lebanon and water fountains, creating an oasis in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula.
