IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a Management Agreement with Saudi Investment Group and Marketing Co (SIGMAC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ghazzawi Group, for its second Hotel Indigo in Jeddah.
Slated to open in Q1 2028, Hotel Indigo Jeddah will comprise 267 rooms and 173 serviced apartments. The signing, which took place at the Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) in Dubai, comes as part of IHG's continued growth in the region and the Saudi Arabian hospitality market, in line with Vision 2030 goals.
The new hotel's arrival into the cultural and historical heart of the country highlights IHG's strong lifestyle proposition and readiness to cater to the future demand from a diverse array of guest profiles visiting the nation. Staying true to Hotel Indigo's brand hallmarks, the hotel will have a distinctive personality, drawing inspiration from its culturally diverse location and the places, people, and ideas surrounding it.
Hotel Indigo Jeddah will be developed as part of the SIGMAC mixed-use development on Prince Sultan Road. The building will become one of the most iconic mixed-use destinations in Jeddah with a premium hotel, residential, offices, retail and entertainment facilities. Following the Saudi government's investment into Jeddah under Vision 2030, the hotel will be an ideal destination for domestic visitors with the redevelopment of waterfront projects and boosting of airport and high-speed train connectivity. Moreover, Jeddah being a crucial link between the Holy cities, the hotel will provide travellers access to Madinah and Makkah.
In addition to aesthetically designed rooms, Hotel Indigo Jeddah will include a neighbourhood café, lobby lounge, health club and swimming pool. Additionally, guests on business will have access to meeting rooms and printing facilities.
"We are greatly encouraged by the Saudi leaderships' investment into the reinvigoration of Jeddah under the Saudi Tourism Development Strategy," said Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa, IHG. Joining our Hotel Indigo properties in Riyadh, and Hotel Indigo Durrat Al Arus here in Jeddah, this new agreement aligns closely with our ambition to deliver a truly unique urban lifestyle proposition to new guest segments in Saudi Arabia. It will continue to drive forward our vision of offering the perfect balance of local experiences and hospitality, complimented by the familiarity of our brands' modern design and the latest technological advancements in the industry."
