Riyadh Airport Marriott Hotel<\/a> is located near Riyadh International Airport (RUH) and is a member of Marriott Bonvoy. It will mainly be suited for passengers with connecting flights, early departures or late arrivals.<\/p>\n

When I stayed at the Riyadh Airport Marriott Hotel<\/a>, the rate was 20,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, while the room cost was over CA$ 250. So I chose to use my Marriott Bonvoy points for this one-night stay.<\/p>\n

Riyadh Airport Marriott<\/a> Hotel is located 2 km from Riyadh International Airport. Having rented a car, we went directly there, which took less than 5 minutes. Complimentary parking is available.<\/p>\n

We arrived in Riyadh around 1:30 am and checked in around 2:30 am. At this hour, the receptionist was not very accommodating. Not very comfortable with English, he just gave me the room key without answering my questions about breakfast, an upgrade or the hotel lounge.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”242990″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Next to the reception is a Bedouin tent for children to wait with some toys and a television.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”243002″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We were not upgraded: the hotel was fully booked due to the MDL Beast Soundstorm Electronic Music Festival (we saw many of the festival’s technical staff at breakfast).<\/p>\n

Our room was located on the second floor of the hotel.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”243006″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_single_image image=”243010″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Riyadh Airport Marriott Hotel – Room” google_fonts=”” el_id=”riyadh_airport_marriott_hotel_-_room”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The room is large. And the materials are typical of those you would find in any Marriott hotel worldwide. It’s sober, and functional but a bit old-fashioned.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”242926″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”242928,242930,242934,242936,242938,242940″ img_size=”large” onclick=””][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A small welcome gift was available:<\/p>\n

When we woke up (around 6 am with the Prayer coming from the Mosque located next to the parking of the hotel), here is the view of our room:<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”242950″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The bathroom has a large shower. Nothing to complain about here.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”242944″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_single_image image=”242946″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Riyadh Airport Marriott Hotel – Breakfast” google_fonts=”” el_id=”riyadh_airport_marriott_hotel_-_breakfast”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Breakfast at Riyadh Airport Marriott<\/a> Hotel is served at the hotel’s restaurant on the first floor. You can also have it on the terrace, by the pool.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”242988″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_single_image image=”242986″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_single_image image=”242980″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_single_image image=”242978″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

It’s a very Americanized breakfast. Few oriental dishes are available. What a change from our hotel in Istanbul the day before!<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”242952,242954,242956,242958,242960,242962,242964,242966,242968,242970,242972,242974,242976″ img_size=”large” onclick=””][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

For members with Platinum, Titanium or Ambassador status<\/a>, breakfast is complimentary<\/strong>. You can also get it with some paid rates through the hotel’s website on Marriott Bonvoy at this address<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Riyadh Airport Marriott<\/a> Hotel has an outdoor pool next to the hotel’s restaurant.<\/p>\n

Next to the Riyadh Airport Marriott Hotel<\/a>‘s reception, you will find a Starbucks coffee shop. This can be convenient if you don’t have a complimentary breakfast.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”242992″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_custom_heading text=”Riyadh Airport Marriott Hotel – Lounge” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”” el_id=”riyadh_airport_marriott_hotel_-_lounge”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The hotel lounge was unfortunately closed during my short overnight stay. Here is a picture offered by the property:<\/p>\n

You are close to the airport by staying at the Riyadh Airport Marriott Hotel<\/a>, which is northeast of the city. This could be the starting point for a visit to Edge of the World (avoiding downtown traffic).<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”243020″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

You can do it by yourself (provided you have a good 4×4 and are not afraid to drive more than an hour at 15-20 kph). Or you can choose an excursion with a guide!<\/p>\n
