Thurya has opened at Sofitel Riyadh Hotel & Convention Centre. The restaurant adds a Lebanese dining destination to the hotel’s food and beverage portfolio in the Saudi capital.
Fadeel G. Wehbe, Managing Director of Sofitel Riyadh Hotel & Convention Centre, said: “With Thurya, we wanted to create more than a restaurant; we envisioned a dining destination that celebrates the richness of Lebanese culture through a contemporary and elevated lens. From the culinary storytelling to the atmosphere and hospitality experience, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to offer guests a refined yet welcoming space that reflects both regional authenticity and Sofitel’s signature French art de vivre.”
The restaurant’s interiors have been designed to support the dining concept. The space includes jewell-toned greens, metallic accents, Arabic-inspired lighting, textured finishes and curated table settings. Artistic details are also used across the environment.
Thurya introduces a contemporary interpretation of Lebanese dining, with a focus on shared dishes, regional flavours and a hospitality experience shaped by Sofitel’s French art de vivre. The concept is designed to combine Lebanese culinary traditions with a setting suitable for dinners, business lunches and social gatherings.
Named after the Arabic word for ‘star’, Thurya has been developed as a signature dining destination within the hotel. The restaurant’s offer is centred on Lebanese cuisine, with a menu that includes cold and hot mezzeh, grilled dishes, tabkhat, seafood, desserts, mocktails, infused waters and signature beverages.
