“This signing asserts Hilton’s longstanding commitment to the growth of the tourism sector in the kingdom, where we are working with both public and private-sector partners to respond to the rising demand for hospitality brands and expect to quadruple our presence in the coming years.” 

With construction anticipated to commence shortly, the Hilton-managed hotel is set to open at the beginning of 2025.  

This project marks the second hotel at NEOM to be entirely financed by the private sector. In March this year, Cayan and Hilton opened the first Hampton by Hilton hotel in Saudi Arabia. 

The hotel’s design will focus on sustainability, incorporating flexible construction methods and energy-efficient systems.  

This approach aligns with NEOM’s vision of a new model for sustainable living. 

Alhatti said: “Further to the recent opening of Hampton by Hilton Sharma at NEOM’s Community site, we are excited to continue with our participation of being part of this visionary and unique project alongside Hilton, our globally recognised hospitality partner.”
