HOTEL MAKKAH

Makkah Hotel and Towers

InterContinental Dar al Tawhid Makkah

Considered one of the grande dames on the Haram, InterContinental Dar al Tawhid Makkah predates many of the five-star stays that now surround the mosque, yet it remains just as relevant. A stone’s throw from the courtyard of Masjid al-Haram, you quite literally step out of the lobby and onto the mosque’s sacred grounds. The hotel’s palatial interiors are defined by gold and deep blue hues, marble-clad bathrooms are outfitted with Byredo amenities, while in-room sound systems connect directly to the mosque, ensuring guests never miss the call to prayer. The hotel has 600 keys, 200 of which are suites, thoughtfully designed for longer stays. Think separate living rooms, kitchens, and even in-suite laundry machines. Dining is equally considered, with two buffet-style restaurants and a cafe serving a blend of international and Middle Eastern cuisine, while Arabic coffee and dates are always on hand

Jumeirah Jabal Omar Makkah

Flanked by restaurants and retail outlets, Jumeirah Jabal Omar Makkah is a bastion of elegance just a short five-minute walk from the Haram courtyard. Helmed by UAE-based Jumeirah Group, the hotel spans multiple towers and features over 1,000 rooms and suites. Inside, light beige-toned rooms feel notably spacious and serene, creating a calming contrast to the sea of pilgrims just beyond the doors. Its four dining destinations range from Mediterranean menus with live cooking stations to Huwang, serving one of the closest tastes of Southeast Asian cuisine in the area. The concierge can also arrange visits to key Islamic sites around Makkah, from the Kiswa Factory of the Holy Kaaba – where the Kaaba’s cloth is crafted – to surrounding historic mountains and landmarks.

Address: Jabal Omar، Al Shubaikah, Ibrahim Al-Khalil Road, Makkah 24231, Saudi Arabia.
