Sponsored: The heart of Ramadan, in a new light…

Riyadh’s hotel scene just got a major upgrade with the arrival of Holiday Inn Riyadh Business District – the first Open Lobby hotel in the Middle East, and a space designed to work, relax, and socialise all in one setting. Whether you’re in town for business or pleasure, this hotel brings a modern take on hospitality right in the heart of the action.

A new era of hotel design

Say goodbye to traditional hotel layouts. The Open Lobby concept blends everything into one dynamic space – lounge, restaurant, co-working zone, and social hub – so you can grab a coffee, catch up on emails, or unwind without feeling boxed in. Located on Airport Road, you’re just 10 minutes from King Khalid International Airport and within easy reach of Business Gate, Granada Business Park, and Riyadh Front.

Stay, dine, and unwind

The hotel isn’t just about smart design; it’s packed with thoughtful details. The main entrance leads to stylish rooms, a gym, pools, and Casa Oliva, a standout Italian restaurant serving up authentic flavours. A second entrance takes you straight to the event venues – think modern banquet halls, natural light-filled meeting rooms, and flexible pre-function spaces for coffee breaks and networking.

Ramadan at Layaly Zaytouna

This Ramadan, the hotel is rolling out Layaly Zaytouna, a special dining experience filled with traditional dishes, live stations, traditional performances, and an inviting atmosphere decked out in Ramadan-inspired decor with lanterns, creating a warm, welcoming space. Whether you’re here for Iftar, Suhoor, or a laid-back evening with family and friends, expect a feast paired with a side of entertainment to make the night even more special.
