Set to open in 2028, Waldorf Astoria Al Madinah will mark the debut of the award-winning brand in Madinah, introducing its unparalleled standards of luxury and signature service to the holy city. Uniquely situated on the northern side of the Prophet's Mosque (PBUH), the hotel boasts exclusive, direct views of the holy site and is only a few minutes' walk away.
Waldorf Astoria Al Madinah will feature more than 300 sophisticated guest rooms and suites, three world-class dining concepts including the celebrated Peacock Alley café and two thoughtfully curated restaurants including a signature venue. The hotel will house two multi-functional halls, a boardroom, private club lounge, a prayer room, as well as a fitness center.
By pioneering transformative projects, Taiba Investments aims to significantly contribute to local economic growth, generate valuable job opportunities, and support the tourism infrastructure development, all while delivering an experience deeply rooted in tradition.
As part of this strategy, Taiba Investments will renovate the existing Taiba Front Hotel, rebranding it as Waldorf Astoria Al Madinah. This transformation will merge the global brand's timeless luxury with the cultural essence of the holy city, elevating the property's sophistication and exclusivity while consolidating Taiba's position as a key player in redefining Madinah's hospitality landscape.
