HILTON - KSA
Makkah Mega-Developments
(320,000 sqm & High-Capacity Hotels)
Hilton's Footprint: The Thakher masterplan includes prominent Hilton properties, such as the Hilton Garden Inn and Embassy Suites, strategically tailored with multifunctional rooms and business centers to meet the unique needs of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.
Jabal Omar (Phase 4): Another major commercial and hospitality project matching the 320,000-square-meter built-up area metric is Phase 4 of the Jabal Omar Development. This phase consists of three podiums and seven hotel towers managed by top-tier operators, including Hilton Hotels.
3,000-Key Hotel Developments: While individual Hilton projects in the city feature massive capacities (such as a 1,560-room Hilton Garden Inn), major operators like Accor are currently developing hospitality pipelines exceeding 3,000 rooms across Makkah and Madinah. Additionally, the Makkah Residence Development Project (Phase 2) involves the construction of a massive 5-star hotel comprising 3,000 rooms, integrated with retail and dining outlets.
Strategic Goal: These vast real estate, commercial, and hospitality expansions directly support Saudi Vision 2030's ambition to comfortably accommodate 36 million annual pilgrims.
Thakher Makkah Project: This SAR 26 billion ($7 billion) mixed-use development spans exactly 320,000 square meters and is located just 1.2 km from the Grand Mosque. It features a large commercial center and approximately 100 multi-use towers encompassing freehold residential units and hospitality brands.
