Two Saudi Hotels Make Conde Nast’s Hot List
DUBAI: In the world of staycations, two hotels in Saudi Arabia have made it to Conde Nast’s prestigious annual Hot List, with one of them situated in the heart of Riyadh.
The St Regis Riyadh and Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea have secured spots on the list of top hotel openings from the past year, spanning across various countries like Argentina, Zimbabwe, Nepal, Spain, and more.
The St Regis Riyadh is “the only hotel inside Via Riyadh – a bijou mall of designer boutiques, hand-picked restaurants, and a cinema complex, wrapped within monumental sandstone walls at the edge of the Saudi capital’s Diplomatic Quarter – the St Regis Riyadh nods to the hotel brand’s New York heritage as well as its new Saudi home,” according to the publication.

It’s one of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious tourism-focused giga-projects, part of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 aimed at diversifying the economy and heralding a new future for the nation.
