Colors are muted and everything’s impeccably tasteful, clothing the lavish rooms and suites in a rather unassuming look.

The rooms
Rooms set high above the city feature sunken marble tubs and expansive windows looking out over the desert capital.
The outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 25-metre outdoor pool on the first floor offers poolside drink service alongside a cold plunge and whirlpool.
The spa baths
A circular whirlpool sits beneath moody blue lighting, flanked by hydrotherapy baths, a sauna, and steam rooms.
The gym
Cardio machines and wooden exercise equipment look across the city, joined by squash courts and a private ladies studio.
Dogs stay too.

Chef Daniel Boulud serves French brasserie classics in a glass-enclosed conservatory with curved banquettes and palm-leaf screens.
The lobby exudes pure elegance with high ceilings, marble floors and rows of sculptural palm trees.
At the table
Tonic Bar mixes alcohol-free cocktails over a sleek marble counter, and Pierre Hermé Paris provides French pastries and macarons.
How it began
Opened in 2003, the hotel occupies the central tiers of the 99-storey Kingdom Centre, crowned by Riyadh's dramatic summit Sky Bridge.
