To the point Here is my review of Le Méridien Riyadh, a hotel in the heart of Riyadh, a member of the Marriott Bonvoy program.

Le Méridien Riyadh - Booking

When I stayed at Le Meridien Riyadh, the rate was 30,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, while the room cost was over $350 CAD per night due to several conventions in town (and the Music Festival I was attending).

So I chose to use my Marriott Bonvoy points for this 3-night stay.

Le Méridien Riyadh - Check-in

After a stay at the Riyadh Airport Marriott Hotel, we arrived at the Le Méridien Riyadh hotel. We tried to check-in earlier than the scheduled time.

Unfortunately, the room was not available and we had to wait 20 minutes… then 30 minutes… then 45 minutes… Finally, after 1h30, we got the room.

In the meantime, the hotel offered us access to the lounge on the 13th floor to refresh.

On the lobby level, there is a café/bar, a library and a lounge area. There is also an outdoor terrace (but the traffic at the intersection makes it particularly noisy).

We were upgraded to the Executive Suite. Truth be told, I had several suite upgrades credits left to use by the end of the year. You might as well not take a chance to negotiate via chat!

Our room was located on the 13th floor of the hotel (Lounge floor).

Le Méridien Riyadh - Executive Suite

Opening the suite’s door, we arrive in the living room, bathed in light. Besides the feeling of space, what’s nice is the floor-to-ceiling windows.

At the entrance, there is a bathroom with a toilet.

The bedroom is at the corner of the building. Thus, the room is in an arc, and the furniture is instead well arranged, with a comfortable armchair at the back.

Le Méridien Riyadh - Around the hotel

Staying at Le Méridien Riyadh Hotel puts you in the heart of Riyadh. One of the nearby attractions is the Skybridge offering 360-degree views of Riyadh from a height of over 300 meters:

In my opinion, it is a worthwhile attraction allowing you to realize the extent of the city and the developments underway.
