The capital of Saudi Arabia and its largest and richest city, Riyadh is the capital of business and finance in the Middle East. Oil no longer dominates the economy in the way it once did, and the financial district of Olaya is rich in conglomerate and corporate companies. Well equipped meeting rooms in Riyadh-Olaya are therefore a much-needed commodity. We at Holiday Inn Riyadh-Olaya offer superb conference facilities in the city centre, within easy reach of King Khaled International Airport, the shopping malls Exhibition Centre and major companies.
Our facilities include a fully-equipped and staffed business centre, seven meeting rooms seating up to 450 delegates, a roof-top pool, fitness centre and accommodation to suit all budgets. These range from standard rooms to executive suites and a luxurious roof-top penthouse. Every type of business service is on offer, including projectors, Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, audio-visual equipment, air-conditioned rooms and a dedicated meetings host service.
Holiday Inn Riyadh-Olaya – the perfect business location
The financial district of Riyadh-Olaya is dominated by the main thoroughfare of King Fahd road. The wealthiest business area in the city, it is lined with major companies and organisations, with glittering skyscrapers, malls and business towers on both sides. A popular haunt of both tourists and business visitors, it links directly to the airport at its northern end. We at Holiday Inn are located just off King Fahd road, making us the ideal choice for business meetings and conferences, especially for foreign delegates.
Although it grew rich on its oil reserves, Riyadh's increasing diversity into other areas of commerce means our conference facilities have to cater for every type of business visitor from across the globe. Riyadh is a staunchly religious city, with over 4,500 mosques. Non-Muslims are expected to abide by the rules, meaning alcohol is not tolerated in the streets. However, inside the hotel you will find things much more relaxed. Although we don't have a bar as such, there is a licensed restaurant, mini-bars and Western luxuries like spa treatments, pool and a gym - all for mixed use.
Out and about in Riyadh-Olaya
Many people say King Fahd road is the most beautiful in Saudi Arabia on account of its fabulous high-rise architecture, as there are few heritage buildings left in the city today. The Kingdom Centre is the tallest building in Saudi Arabia and houses the second-highest mosque in the world. There is also the beautifully designed Al Faisaliyah Centre, the first skyscraper to be erected in Saudi Arabia and said to be based on the design of a ballpoint pen. Other landmarks include the Al Anoud Tower and the Ministry of Interior building.
If your delegates prefer things a little less glittery and high-rise, the Al-Dira district has been rebuilt in a style reminiscent of the traditional mud-brick buildings of old Nejd. Along with the al-Masmak fort and King Abdulaziz's palace, it makes an interesting cultural excursion.
For superbly equipped meeting rooms in Riyadh-Olaya, we at Holiday Inn have everything you need, with guest rooms and business facilities that cover every need from informal break-out sessions to international business conferences.
