Upscale business and leisure amenities await at the Crowne Plaza® Jeddah hotel, a half-hour drive from King Abdulaziz International Airport. Step into the hotel and glimpse a reflection of the city’s Bedouin past as the lobby’s Arabesque wooden arches harmonies with the coolness of the glass façade and floor. We are next to the diplomatic and financial district's steel and glass towers, and nearby, the city’s sculpture-lined Corniche curves alongside the glimmering Red Sea - perfect for an evening stroll.

From the freshest seafood, the Red Sea offers, to prime steaks grilled to perfection, there’s a dining option to suit your needs. Work up an appetite with some laps of the outdoor pool, burn some calories in the modern Fitness Center or simply gather your thoughts in the sauna.
