Throughout its history, Al Hamra Palace was the most prominent hospitality structure where international public figures and VIP guests were hosted when traveling to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Understanding the significance of the existing structure from the beginning, the OBMI team used their expertise in renovating historic palaces into storied hospitality destinations to reposition the palace once again to deliver the royal guest journey of its past.

These traditional inspirations are apparent in the palace’s arched gateways, slanted roofs, and facade crafted from Riyadh stone. This unique blend of design styles pays homage to the country’s rich heritage and elevates the hospitality experience, offering guests a unique destination that reflects the land’s richness and culture.

Beautiful gardens and landscapes tie the hotel together as guests journey through the sprawling destination, creating an otherworldly adventure. Surrounding the palace, the luxury villas are a respectful scale to ensure the original structure remains the regent piece. To elevate the experience further, guests can access Saudi fine dining, Michelin-star restaurants, and wellness facilities on-site.
