First Look: Bab Samhan, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Diriyah, Riyadh

Nestled within a labyrinth of alleyways, in the historic heart of Saudi’s capital, the 157-key hotel reflects the region’s mudbrick architecture with sand-hued walls, open courtyards and spaces to gather in, while rooms and suites pay homage to Nadji design with cream hues, geometric patterns and local art. Three restaurants celebrate regional cuisine, including all-day dining venue Medheef, and Jareed, which pairs Najd cooking methods with locally sourced ingredients. There’s also a spa, fitness centre and array of authentic guest experiences, including poetry readings, storytelling sessions and guided tours of the nearby Unesco site, At-Turaif.
