Diriyah Gate Development Authority announces the first 14 of its planned 38 hotel brands set to join $50bn project.
Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA) on Wednesday announced the first 14 of its planned 38 hotel brands that will come to call Diriyah home over the coming years. DGDA said it has received overwhelming interest from the world’s luxury five-star brands to have a presence within the development’s collection of 38 hospitality brands.
Currently the concept design is nearing completion for the first 14 brands and DGDA said it looks forward to unveiling additional hotel operators as their designs advance further. It added in a statement that the $50.6 billion transformation of the historic city of Diriyah, located 15-minutes north-west of Riyadh city centre, “remains on time, on budget and on track”.
It will be the first Giga-Project in the world to simultaneously open, ground-break and announce world-class assets every year from 2022 until completion in 2026. It will also be the first to open assets, with its first 18 restaurant brands launching in Bujairi Terrace in early 2022. The hotel brands will be located across two of DGDA’s four master plans – Diriyah Gate and Wadi Safar.
