Earth Riyadh, the brand’s market entry in the Kingdom, will be located in the Al Maathar district near the Diplomatic Quarter. It is due to open in Q3 2026.
It will feature 86 rooms, lofts and suites, as well as bar and lounge, a membership-based coworking space, a wellbeing area, music room, and a rooftop day club.

The energy, innovation and creativity across Saudi Arabia right now is unmatched, and with Earth Riyadh and Earth Jeddah we seek out those tribes to call our spaces home for a day, month or year round.”
