Aligned with Vision 2030
IHG’s expansion in Saudi Arabia reflects its strong support of Vision 2030, the country’s strategic initiative to diversify its economy through tourism and infrastructure development. By increasing its footprint in key destinations like Jeddah, IHG aims to meet the rising demand for quality hospitality and provide a modern travel experience tailored to evolving guest preferences.
Haitham Mattar, Managing Director of IHG Hotels & Resorts for India, Middle East & Africa, emphasized that Saudi Arabia remains a top growth market for the company. He highlighted the strategic importance of the new Holiday Inn, stating it will deliver an elevated guest experience while contributing to the Kingdom’s growing tourism and hospitality landscape.
A Shared Vision for Growth
The project is being developed in partnership with Hassan Salem Al Zahrani, who expressed his confidence in the collaboration and its potential impact on the region. He noted that the hotel will be a valuable addition to the city, enhancing options for travelers and supporting local development.
Jeddah continues to evolve as a key gateway to Saudi Arabia, known for its historical charm, coastal location, and proximity to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The opening of Holiday Inn Jeddah Al Naseem will further strengthen the city’s position as a top travel destination in the Middle East.

IHG currently operates 45 hotels across six brands in the Kingdom, including InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Staybridge Suites, voco, and Six Senses. An additional 47 properties are in the development pipeline, reflecting the group’s continued investment in the region.
The signing of Holiday Inn Jeddah Al Naseem adds to IHG’s growing Saudi portfolio and highlights the company’s commitment to delivering recognizable, high-quality hotel experiences that meet the needs of today’s travelers.
With construction underway and a 2026 opening date on the horizon, guests can soon look forward to checking into a new kind of Holiday Inn—right in the heart of Jeddah’s energetic Al Naseem district.
