Opening in Q4 2025, Raffles Jeddah is set to become an architectural and cultural landmark, where timeless artistry meets contemporary elegance. Every detail of the property has been meticulously crafted to celebrate Jeddah’s heritage while offering a sophisticated new standard of luxury overlooking the Red Sea.
The journey begins at the entrance, where a striking golden door ushers guests into a luminous lobby. Here, handcrafted lacework motifs and iridescent columns echo Jeddah’s historic coral architecture, showcasing floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views, while curated works by emerging artists weave the city’s cultural narratives into the hotel’s design story.
The interiors, envisioned by internationally renowned designers Robert Angell and Tristan du Plessis, strike a dialogue between heritage and modernity, promising spaces that are both enduring and innovative. Angell’s concept for the guestrooms, suites, and public areas draws on refined residential sensibilities, enriched with bespoke Saudi artworks and mashrabiya-inspired screens that echo the play of light in Al-Balad’s historic streets. Meanwhile, du Plessis reimagines the spa and wellness areas with sculptural forms and a biophilic palette, designed to reflect the fluid tones and natural rhythms of the Red Sea.
Raffles Jeddah will unveil a collection of dining venues where design becomes an integral part of the experience. Riviera, envisioned by du Plessis, embodies the effortless elegance of the Italian French Mediterranean, expressed through fluid architectural forms and a coastal palette of lilac and soft blue that evoke a sense of refined escape. The Atorie Lounge & Patisserie introduces a contrasting atmosphere, blending French charm with Japanese minimalism in a space designed for serene tea rituals and artisanal pastries. Surl’O, the property’s progressive brasserie, completes the ensemble with a contemporary design that reflects the evolving spirit of Jeddah’s dining scene. With panoramic views across the Red Sea, its open interiors are conceived as a stage for an innovative dialogue between East and West.
For extraordinary gatherings, the hotel’s event venues, including the grand Pearl and Crystal Ballrooms, feature soaring ceilings, natural light, and bespoke chandeliers designed to shimmer like the sea. A dedicated Bridal Suite and Showroom further position Raffles Jeddah as a premier destination for weddings and milestone celebrations.
“Raffles Jeddah is more than a hotel, it is a cultural landmark that tells the story of the city’s past while looking confidently to the future. Through thoughtful design, curated art, and exceptional service, we are proud to introduce a destination that captures the soul of Jeddah and welcomes guests to experience its timeless spirit in a new way.” said Fredrik Blomqvist, General Manager of Raffles Jeddah.
Opening later this year, Raffles Jeddah reflects the spirit of the city, honouring its heritage while embracing a contemporary vision. Through a considered blend of culture, design, and service, the hotel will set a new benchmark for luxury in Jeddah.
