We spent the Eid holiday at Fairmont Riyadh and had a truly wonderful stay. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. A special thanks to Mishari at the reception desk for his exceptional hospitality. He kindly upgraded our room and arranged a late check-out, which made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. His professionalism, kindness, and willingness to help were greatly appreciated. The room was spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained. The food was delicious, including the room service, which was excellent. We also loved the ice cream at the coffee shop—it was absolutely delicious. One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful ladies’ spa, which provided a relaxing and luxurious experience. Overall, it was a peaceful and refreshing getaway, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Thank you to the entire Fairmont Riyadh team for making our Eid stay so memorable. We look forward to visiting again.

This hotel is lovely, very elegant lobby. The staff is very welcoming, helpful, and efficient. They remembered my name, would open the car doors for me and take my bags (restocking my perfumes!) and they were very good about handling any requests. The elevators were a little weird in that you never knew which was open and I would invariably run to the other side to catch it 🙄 I only had breakfast once and it was ok not the best I have had. I did love the muesli area they had fresh chia soaked in coconut milk and I fell in love with that (note to self to make that). I ordered the shakshuka and it was menemen, not shakshuka, and it was decent.. The room was perfect: good size, good bed, pillows could have been better I wish they had memory foam, the bathroom was big and well appointed, good quality bathroom toiletries (le labo). I did leave my pillowcase there so they owe me a silk pillowcase! The water pressure was good in the shower and the temperature as well. I did have a bath and the tub is lovely but the fixtures are on the wrong side of the tub which was odd. They also didn’t have bath oil or any accoutrements for a bath. (But I bring my own anyway so 😝) They have a nespresso coffee machine so I was very happy and they were good about bringing me extras of everything. I was there for a conference and as such had no say in where i stayed. There is a Park ave mall that is nearby that has some good restaurant options (see my review of Sumerian) but this hotel is pretty far from the parts of the city that I would want to visit (north and northwest of the city) Fairmonts are usually an elegant hotel option and this was an excellent reflection of that.

I noticed unequal deal with guests that was during my daily breakfast. The receptionist of the restaurant was not receiving the guests and manage them equally. She and he were just registering my room number and let me in without taking me to ready table and do the needs while they receive others “foreigners” in the way expected from 5 start hotel were they take them to the table respectfully and ask for drinks .. etc. I feel very bad and unset as this attitude happened 3 times in my 3 days breakfast !!

I had an excellent professional stay and seminar experience. Everything was handled seamlessly from start to finish, making it very easy to focus on the program itself. The entire team was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and supportive throughout the week. A special mention goes to Tariq, who was absolutely outstanding in coordinating all the logistics around the seminars. His professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to help ensured that every aspect of the event ran smoothly. It was a pleasure working with such a dedicated team, and I look forward to coming back.

We had an excellent experience working with the hotel team during ICFM 2026، Special thanks to Mr. Abdulnasser, an outstanding leader whose exceptional coordination, professionalism, and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout our conference. His leadership, dedication, and ability to handle every situation with ease made a real difference to our team. He was always available, supportive, and ready to find solutions, even under pressure. A very special appreciation also goes to Mr. Ghoneim, the true powerhouse of the team! His energy, responsiveness, hands-on approach, and outstanding cooperation were remarkable. Always proactive and ready to help, he made sure every detail was taken care of and every request was handled efficiently. His positive attitude and dedication made our work significantly easier throughout the conference. Both gentlemen went above and beyond to support us during ICFM 2026, demonstrating exceptional teamwork, genuine hospitality, and a remarkable commitment to service excellence. Their efforts contributed greatly to the smooth execution of our conference and made our experience truly memorable. Thank you both for your outstanding support, genuine care, and exceptional service. Highly recommended!

I haven’t tried their rooms yet, but I did visit their lobby café and it was absolutely amazing. The service was beyond excellent, the staff kept checking in to make sure everything was okay and the service was very fast. We ordered najdi coffee, passion fruit iced tea, apple tart, choco inve, and peppermint tea and everything tasted great. The prices are a little on the higher side, but considering the atmosphere, vibe, and quality of service, I think it’s worth it.

As a former hospitality professional, I always make a point of giving credit where it’s due—and this hotel absolutely earned it. I recently had the pleasure of delivering a workshop here again, and I’m so glad to say that my second experience was just as exceptional as the first. The banquet team deserves special recognition. Their service was so seamless and intuitive that I barely noticed their presence—yet everything appeared exactly when needed. Beverages and food were replenished without a single request, and every dish was plated so beautifully that it truly fed the eyes before the stomach. That kind of anticipation and precision doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the mark of a well-trained, passionate crew. It would feel unfair to single out one or two people when the entire team operated like a well-oiled machine, so I’ll simply say: thank you to every banquet staff member who made my workshop run so smoothly. I was equally impressed by the restaurant buffet—the variety and quality of the food were delicious, and it was clear that the culinary team takes pride in every offering. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, this hotel delivers hospitality at its finest. I’ll definitely be back—and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone who values thoughtful, professional service.
