Abraj Kudai

Mecca, Saudi Arabia

Abraj Kudai is a partially built hotel in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Originally projected to open in 2017, construction was halted in 2015 due to financial difficulties. As of 2023, the hotel has yet to be opened to the public. If completed, it would be the largest hotel in the world, consisting of a ring of 12 towers 45 stories high, with 10,000 bedrooms, 70 restaurants, and four rooftop helipads. There will also be five floors for the sole use of the Saudi royal family. According to Arabian Business, 10 of the towers will provide four-star accommodations, while the other two towers will be reserved for special clientele offering five-star amenities. The estimated project cost is US$3.5 billion, and will cover approximately 1.4 million square metres. The London-based firm Areen Hospitality has been contracted to design the hotel and the rooms' interiors.
