With several hotels operational and plenty on the way, HMH is no stranger to KSA.
Michel Noblet, CEO, HMH - Hospitality Management Holdings, said:

"The inward investment into Saudi Arabia has risen considerably over the past few years - as a result it is now ranked 20th among world economies. This presents a wonderful opportunity for any new hotels. Considering the huge demands for hotels in the country, we have the strongest development taking place in KSA at the moment. Coral Gulf Hotel - Riyadh is brilliantly located and offers outstanding facilities and services which is the hallmark of Coral hospitality."

Included in its facilities are 24-hour room service, free wireless Internet connection in public areas and guest rooms, four fully-equipped meeting rooms, high-tech business centre, two restaurants, state-of-the-art gym, outdoor swimming pool and sauna & steam rooms.

Being the country's political, business and economic centre Riyadh is attracting businessmen in large numbers. The need for hotel rooms too is continuously rising in the city.

Anees Shinnara, General Manager, Coral Gulf Hotel - Al Riyadh, said, "Usually when a market achieves about 70 per cent occupancies it means there is unaccommodated demand, and that definitely exists in KSA. Hotels in Riyadh are enjoying good year-round occupancy. Ever since we opened we have been receiving a constant flow of local and international business groups and domestic tourists."

Riyadh has the highest level of income and education in the Gulf region. Geographically speaking, being the center of Saudi Arabia, it enjoys a strategic location both in the Gulf region and between Europe and Asia.
