Radisson Collection amplifies its presence in Saudi Arabia with the opening of its second hotel in Riyadh
Radisson Hotel Group is proud to announce the opening of Mansard Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Hotel, the luxury lifestyle brand’s second hotel in the city. The hotel’s name comes from its distinct Mansard roofline, designed as an homage to the signature Parisian Haussmann style of the mid 1800s, and evokes images of the grand buildings which line the fashionable boulevards of Paris.
Mansard Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Hotel is ideally located in the northern neighborhood of Ar Rabi, an area that boasts easy access to shopping centers, cafés, and dining options, and is just a short distance away from the King Abdullah Financial District, located in the heart of Riyadh, which once its open will be a sustainable financial center with a beautiful mix of public spaces, retail, residential and commercial buildings.
The architect of the newly built hotel is Remaizan S. Al Remaizan Architectural Consultants and designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates Dubai (HBA). The hotel offers 191 beautifully designed rooms serviced apartments, and duplex villas designed with subtle color hints of blue and beige which weave through the hotel’s interiors, creating a calming and timeless atmosphere for guests.
Corridors are lined with contemporary works by local artist Mishal Saad Alzaid. The striking millwork of the guestroom doors set the scene for the rooms’ modern design featuring contemporary furniture with rich upholstery that give the pieces a sense of timeless elegance.
The understated yet luxurious three-bedroom penthouse suite has been stylishly designed with contemporary details, hardwood floors, and elegant fabrics. The penthouse suite consists of a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, three spacious bedrooms, a living area, kitchen, and dining room which seats up to eight guests. Guests can relax in the suite’s whirlpool tub surrounded by marble floors, Italian finishes, and double vanities.
