IHG® Hotels & Resorts, one of the world's leading hotel groups, has signed a management agreement with Saudi based Arif Group to bring a new voco™ hotel in the city of Jeddah. A new built property, voco® Jeddah North will feature 145 rooms and will open to guests in Q1 2022.

With a bold, distinctive identity, a range of best in class facilities and warm hospitality, guests staying at voco® Jeddah North will be treated to a unique upscale experience, combined with a great location. Beyond guest rooms, the hotel will include an outdoor pool, a gymnasium and a spa with four treatment rooms. Offering a range of dining options, the hotel will also feature an all-day dining restaurant, a coffee lounge and a rooftop lounge.

Being one of the closest hotels to the new Jeddah airport, offering 1,710sqm of meeting and banqueting space (including two ballrooms of 500 square metres and 400 square metres), the hotel will be positioned as a perfect destination for upscale corporate guests and will be well suited for their MICE requirements. Enjoying a prime location, voco Jeddah North will be in close proximity to Jeddah Seasons square, Obhur Corniche and the Alexandria beach, and only 3 km from Kingdom City, the new anticipated centre of Jeddah. The hotel will be in proximity to the Obhur Bay, near the east coast of the Red Sea and will provide guests with easy access to some of the best beaches in the northern corniche of the city. Launched globally in 2018, voco™ has gained tremendous momentum in the Middle East with signings and openings across multiple markets, including Saudi Arabia. The brand allows guests to enjoy an upscale experience with a bold, distinctive identity and informal service style, with freshness of an independent hotel under a name they can trust. This brand also offers owners the ability to drive higher returns by delivering a compelling guest experience and leveraging IHG's powerful systems.

IHG currently operates 95 hotels across 7 brands in the Middle East, including: InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites, voco and Six Senses with a further 42 in the development pipeline due to open within the next three to five years.
