Character and identity
Set inside Jeddah's tallest building, an 80-storey Perkins + Will tower on the new Waterfront development, this is a vertical luxury hotel that leans hard into its Red Sea position. The design borrows the clean lines and muted palette of a super-yacht: floor-to-ceiling glazing, generous balconies, sea views from nearly every angle. Expect 220 rooms and suites starting at a roomy 560 square feet, with walk-in closets, deep soaking tubs, Acqua di Parma amenities and Frette linens. Four restaurants, a wood-panelled spa, a sea-facing gym and a sprawling pool deck round out the offer, delivered with polished, multilingual service.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-minded travellers and couples who want contemporary luxury with a coastal edge, plus business guests needing a central Jeddah base. The location works equally well for sightseers (Al-Balad, the Floating Mosque, Red Sea Mall) and Formula 1 visitors heading to the Corniche Circuit. Families wanting space will appreciate the generous room footprints.
Should look elsewhere:
Traditionalists who prefer low-rise resort architecture, ornate Arabian interiors or a true beachfront with direct sand access. If you want a deep-rooted heritage property or a dedicated kids' programme, this skyscraper stay will feel too sleek and urban.
Bottom line
The pull here is the architecture and the views: a yacht-inspired tower hotel where almost every room looks straight onto the Red Sea, anchored by sizeable accommodations and a strong wellness floor. Book a sea-facing suite to make the design pay off, consider the two-floor Royal Suite if budget allows, and time a visit around the Grand Prix for the full Corniche buzz.
