Al Ahsa InterContinental Hotel - Saudi Arabia

Situated on the edge of the city’s Empty Quarter, the Al Ahsa InterContinental Hotel is one of the most recognisable buildings in the city centre, thanks to its centuries old castle design. It is within easy reach of many interesting tourist destinations in the city, including the iconic Juwatha Mosque and the bustling Kaisariah Market. History enthusiasts will love a tour of the Al Ahsa National Museum. On site are several in house restaurants serving Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines, along with bars and a gourmet caf?. Some rooms and common areas boast views of the nearby Qara mountain.

Number of Rooms: 168

The Med is the in-house buffet restaurant offering (you've guessed it) Mediterranean food. There is also an outdoor terrace for the cooler months. The Silk Road is inspired by the famous and exotic voyages of Marco Polo and serves a variety of Asian cuisine from 12 different countries. The Al Bustan offers Middle Eastern cuisine and there is also a cafe as well as afternoon tea/cakes.

Arabic in style, large in size and with some of the most stunning design and architecture. The lobby looks like a museum in itself, it is that impressive!

Built in the style of a nearby castle, this is an extremely attractive building.
