Best Luxury Hotels In Jeddah

The Jeddah EDITION, situated on the scenic Jeddah Corniche, elegantly blends into the city’s cultural scene with its yacht-like architecture near the Jeddah Art Promenade and the historic Al-Balad, a UNESCO Heritage site. A result of a partnership between Marriott International, EDITION Hotels, and designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the hotel features 52 rooms and 11 suites, including luxurious Penthouses with panoramic views. It offers a unique experience with its art-filled lobby, tranquil spa, and signature restaurant, Maritime, led by chef Cédric Vongerichten, which serves French-Asian cuisine tailored to local tastes. Additionally, the hotel is a vibrant social hub with spaces like The Roof and The Den, catering to both relaxation and social gatherings, reflecting Jeddah’s motto, “Jeddah Ghair,” celebrating a fusion of tradition and modernity.

Sit in a jacuzzi beside the rooftop swimming pool, as you gaze out to the Red Sea, at the Rosewood.
