The new north tower will offer guests the quality service and modern luxurious surroundings they have come to expect from the hotel, along with a greater choice of rooms and two new restaurant options — Arome, a Mediterranean fine dining restaurant, and Quick Bites, a stylish delicatessen providing dine-in and take-out meals.

Naif Al-Tareri, CEO, National Amlak Investment Co. Ltd., said: “We have a long-standing partnership with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) ... Its InterContinental brand has great heritage in Saudi Arabia. Since it opened nearly four years ago the hotel has enjoyed great success, and the new tower will add this success.”

Josef Sorger, GM, InterContinental Alkhobar, said: “The new north tower is the next exciting step for our hotel. Guests will be able to enjoy a range of new facilities and an even greater choice of restaurants, cementing our position as Alkhobar’s leading hotel.”

Known as a modern icon of style and luxury and located in center of the bustling business and financial district, InterContinental Alkhobar is some minutes away from the Alkhobar Corniche and King Fahd Causeway to Bahrain, and offers easy access to and from the cities of Dammam, Dhahran, Jubail and Hofuf.
