Four Seasons makes strides in religious tourism with new hotel in Madinah

Jordan Daily – Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is making strides in the realm of religious tourism with the confirmation of a hotel in the sacred city of Madinah. The proposed Four Seasons Hotel Madinah will include 245 rooms, two restaurants, a tea lounge, spa, gym, a barber shop, and a handpicked assortment of retail stores.

The hotel, which is currently under construction, will be strategically located in the heart of Madinah, a short distance from the Prophet’s Mosque. Recently, Saudi Arabia reported that the Presidency of the Prophet’s Mosque welcomed over 4.25 million worshippers and visitors during the holy week this year.

Four Seasons Hotel Madinah’s Significance No specific opening date for the property has been announced. However, once operational, it will position Saudi Arabia as one of the key markets for Four Seasons outside North America. The exclusive brand usually operates only a select number of hotels in a given country, but it could potentially manage up to five establishments in the Kingdom. The existing Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh, proposed resorts in The Red Sea and Diriyah Gate, and the prospective site in the pristine AlUla region reinforce this potential.

In 2017, the company agreed to a hotel project in Makkah within the ambitious Jabal Omar development, though further information has been scarce.
