The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh

I paid 1700 USD per night to stay here and it was so far away from that price it's not even funny. Like other reviews say, the service was nowhere near Ritz expected service. The rooms are old and not nice. The only benefit to the club room is the breakfast; otherwise the food at the club is not good. The staff doesn't even know their own rules regarding where you can eat for free with a club membership when the club is closed on weekends. I have stayed at many Ritz properties and this was the worst of them all. This was a very negative experience, I do not recommend this hotel.

The hotel is absolutely over the top as far as opulence lobby. The pool is fabulous the grounds fabulous the convention center fabulous the rooms are a bit tired. The service is very strong. However, there is a very relaxed part of follow-through in Saudi. There is a huge amount of traffic getting to and from anywhere in Riyadh, which does create travel issues. What are the best things about staying at this hotel is the history that took place here. If you don’t know Google it it makes for an interesting experience as you walk through the lobby and throughout the hotel.

Overall, The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh offers luxury, comfort, and exceptional experiences that make it a standout choice for travelers seeking a truly distinguished stay in the Saudi capital.

We chose The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh for our honeymoon after getting married, and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful and heart-warming experiences of our lives. We would especially like to express our deepest gratitude to Butler Kim, whose service was truly exceptional. Kim went above and beyond her role — she kindly and proactively helped my husband and me take stunning wedding-style photos, creating memories we will treasure forever. Her thoughtfulness, warmth, and genuine care made us feel incredibly special. We are also very thankful to Butler Hani for his attentive and professional service throughout our stay. In addition, the café on the ground floor kindly prepared elegant cocktails for us, which made our photo moments even more magical and visually beautiful. Every detail was handled with such grace and generosity. As newlyweds traveling all the way from Taiwan, we truly felt the warmth, kindness, and hospitality of The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh. Thank you for making our honeymoon so unforgettable and meaningful. A heartfelt thank you to Butler Kim and the entire team — this stay will always hold a special place in our hearts.
