Minor Hotels, an international hotel group with over 640 properties operating and under development in 66 countries across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the Americas, announces the opening of the NH Riyadh Prime Square Hotel, marking the entry of the NH Hotels & Resorts brand into the Middle East.

Developed by Heyazah Real Estate Development, the hotel will be located within Prime Square, a new mixed-use development in Riyadh’s King Fahad neighborhood, along King Abdullah Road, one of the Saudi capital’s main commercial arteries. Scheduled to open in 2030, the property will offer a contemporary hospitality experience designed to meet the needs of both business travelers and leisure travelers in Riyadh, a city experiencing constant growth.

The agreement confirms Minor Hotels’ commitment to expanding its brand portfolio in the highest-potential markets, while also contributing to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals, which aim to strengthen tourism, attract investment, and consolidate the country’s role as a leading international destination.

The hotel will feature 121 rooms and suites, including 80 King Rooms, 25 Deluxe King Rooms, and 16 NH Suites. Guests will also enjoy a wide range of amenities, including an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a rooftop pool bar and lounge, a swimming pool, a fitness center, a business center, and meeting rooms.

Prime Square has been designed as an integrated urban destination, centered around a large landscaped plaza that will house shops, cafes, restaurants, and numerous leisure facilities. The complex will also benefit from excellent accessibility thanks to its proximity to the Al Wurud and STC metro stations, which will provide quick connections to the city’s main business districts and attractions.
