Four Seasons has partnered with the Saudi
Arabia-based development firm Dar Al Omran for a new-build hotel
in Madinah.

Scheduled to open in Q4 2024, the Four Seasons
Hotel Madinah will be located just steps from one of the most
historic sites in the region: Al-Masjid an-Nabawi,
also known as the Prophet’s Mosque.

The hotel will feature 246 guest
rooms and suites, multiple F&B outlets, a variety of flexible meeting and event spaces, a fitness centre and
a spa.

HKS led the conceptual architectural design
of the Hotel, while LW Design Group will lead the interior design
of guest rooms and public areas, with AvroKO leading the interior
design of the lobby, reception and dining outlets.

Waleed Sobhy, whose Four Seasons tenure began 20 years ago as
Outlet Manager at the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza, has
been appointed General Manager.

Prior to his move to Madinah, Waleed played an integral
role in the multi-million dollar renovation and enhancement
project of the Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh as Resort
Manager.

“It is with great pride that I take this next step
in my Four Seasons career with a new property that adds to Four
Seasons growing, dynamic portfolio in the Middle East,” Waleed
said. “It’s an exciting time as we prepare to
open our doors later this year, creating a new luxury experience
that deeply honours the importance of Madinah, while introducing
the legendary personalized and unscripted service that only Four
Seasons can offer.”

The hotel will join the growing
portfolio of Four Seasons properties in Saudi Arabia including
Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre and the upcoming Four
Seasons Hotel Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, Four Seasons Hotel and
Private Residences Jeddah at the Corniche, Four Seasons Resort Red
Sea at Shura Island, Four Seasons Resort NEOM at Sindalah, and
Four Seasons Resort and Residences AMAALA at Triple Bay.
