What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
InterContinental Jeddah has long held its place on the Corniche, with front-row views of the Red Sea and King Fahd’s Fountain.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Corniche promenade sits right outside, and the historic quarter of Al-Balad is a short drive away.
The rooms
Spacious rooms open onto balconies over the water, finished in soft neutrals with classic Arabic geometric detailing.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Palm trees fringe the outdoor lap pool, and loungers look out across the sun terrace to the water.
The spa and gym
The spa includes a Turkish bath with a heated marble slab, and the gym has an indoor squash court.
At the table
Guests select fresh fish displayed on ice at Fish Market, and Spears carves grilled meats tableside.
