Mecca to welcome the world's largest Courtyard by Marriott
Al Qimmah Hospitality and Amwaj Real Estate Company, both subsidiaries of BinDawood Trading, have announced a strategic partnership with Marriott International to open the world's largest Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
This partnership marks a significant milestone in the development of Saudi Arabia's tourism sector, addressing the growing demand for accommodation. The flagship project, the Courtyard by Marriott Makkah Al Naseem, is a testament to this ambition.
This future hospitality giant, boasting 2,179 rooms spread across seven interconnected towers, will be the largest of its kind. Scheduled to open in 2026, it will offer a range of amenities, including a restaurant seating over 1,800 guests, a spacious lounge, and a "Grab n’ Go" market.
In December 2024, Marriott signed an agreement with Knowledge Economic City (KEC) to open three hotels in Madinah, the holy city. These projects, which will add over 1,200 rooms, are part of the KEC development and will be spread across three of the company's brands: Courtyard by Marriott, Four Points by Sheraton, and Residence Inn by Marriott.
