Plans indicate that the property will house 250 rooms and suites, and extensive recreational and entertainment offerings, including four dining venues, spa, swimming pool, fitness centre, business centre, meeting facilities and retail space.
Speaking about the brand’s decision to open in AlUla, Chadi Hauch, Regional Vice President, Lodging Development, Middle East, Marriott International says, “Autograph Collection Hotels feature curated properties that celebrate individuality – and AlUla is an ideal fit with its unique sense of place and history.
