Ruwaa Al-Madina Holding Company has revealed the signing of an agreement with Hilton, a leading hospitality services provider, to operate over 1,600 hotel units being developed in the Ruwaa Al-Madina project, located east of the Prophet’s Mosque. The agreement is expected to create more than 1,100 job opportunities.
The agreement aims to operate the targeted hotels through one of the world’s leading hotel companies, representing a qualitative leap in the prestigious brands of the Ruwaa Al-Madina project. This agreement marks the first entry of the luxurious Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand into Madinah, contributing to providing exceptional experiences for visitors, in line with Saudi Vision 2030’s goal of hosting 30 million visitors and pilgrims by 2030.
Hilton will introduce three brands: Conrad Ruwaa Al-Madina, DoubleTree by Hilton Ruwaa Al-Madina, and Hilton Garden Inn Ruwaa Al-Madina.
Engineer Ahmed bin Wasel Al-Juhani, CEO of Ruwaa Al-Madina Company, stated, “We are pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with Hilton, which will support the Ruwaa Al-Madina project and enhance its competitiveness and attractiveness by providing a diverse range of accommodation options. This hotel management agreement is an important step towards increasing the capacity for pilgrims and visitors from around the world, enriching their visit experience, and improving the quality of services provided to them.”
Guy Hutchinson, President of Hilton in the Middle East and Africa, said, “The partnership with Ruwaa Al-Madina Holding marks a significant milestone in Hilton’s continued expansion across the Kingdom. The planned hotels will enhance our presence in the Kingdom in general and in Madinah in particular, to meet the needs of thousands of visitors and pilgrims annually. We also plan to quadruple our presence in the Kingdom over the coming years, and we continue to work diligently with our partners to achieve this.”
