KAFD Riyadh by IHG
Design-led lifestyle hotel with a social, community-hub personality — playful touches against a backdrop of contemporary elegance. Feels more SoHo than financial district.

Why It Matters
First Kimpton in the entire Middle East region. Sits inside KAFD — the largest LEED-certified mixed-use financial district in the world — with direct skywalk access to the metro and surrounding towers. As the only hotel in KAFD at opening, it's punching above its weight as the district's de facto social hub.
The first Kimpton in the Middle East, this 212-room hotel opened in September 2025 inside Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District. Sixteen floors of contemporary design with art that actually references local culture rather than just nodding at it — rooms are light-filled, generously sized, and stocked with minibars full of locally inspired treats. The vibe is looser than you'd expect from a Riyadh business hotel: complimentary Social Hour every evening, yoga mats in every room, and four dining venues that locals show up to on their own.
