Carlson Rezidor Group adds Radisson Blu in Dhahran

Carlson Rezidor, one of the largest hotel groups worldwide, brings the Radisson Blu Hotel to Dhahran as part of its expansion across the Kingdom. The upper upscale scale hotel featuring 74 suites is Carlson Rezidor’s first in Dhahran, a thriving business city and a major administrative center for the Gulf state’s oil industry.
Situated on Zaid Ibn Al-Khattab Street in the heart of Dhahran, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dhahran is ideally placed close to both Alkhobar city center and Dammam. The hotel is located just 40 minutes from King Fahd International Airport, five minutes from the picturesque Corniche and 2 km from the bustling Mall of Dhahran.
“Saudi Arabia is an important growth market for Carlson Rezidor because of its strategic location in the Middle East,” said Wolfgang M. Neumann, president and CEO of the Rezidor Hotel Group. “With a rapidly growing population of nearly 30 million people, the Kingdom is the Gulf’s largest Arab country with a gross domestic product of more than SR2.5 trillion (500 billion euros), making it a highly lucrative market for the growth of our regional footprint. With Radisson Blu Hotel, Dhahran, our portfolio rises to 18 hotels and 3,300 rooms in operation and under development, serving as a springboard for future developments in the area.”
Catering to leisure and business travelers, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dhahran features an outdoor swimming pool, spa and fitness center. Two fully-equipped meeting rooms are available for a wide variety of events and social gatherings while a convenient lobby cafe and all-day dining restaurant offer plentiful dining options.
