Hyatt Opens First Spa Hotel in Saudi Arabia
JULY 1, 2009 - Hyatt has marked its entry into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by opening the Park Hyatt Jeddah - Marina Club and Spa.
Set among gardens on the Corniche of Jeddah, Park Hyatt Jeddah aims to offer five-star sanctuary with contemporary luxury with sweeping views of the Red Sea and King Fahd fountain.
The hotel enjoys a prime location in the very heart of the city, within the upmarket Al Hamra District at the Equestrian Club of Jeddah, and close to the central business district.
The spa and wellness facilities are set to open soon. The 2.5-acre (10,000 square metres) complex will offer an array of sports and leisure pursuits divided into separate ladies' and gentlemen's areas including the region's first Hydrotherapy centre.
Stemming from the meaning of spa, or Sanitas per Aquas, Latin for "healing by water", hydrotherapy draws upon the healing benefits of heated mineralised waters to revitalise the body and alleviate circulatory and stress-related ailments. An extensive range of massage therapies and the latest restorative and therapeutic treatments will be available for total pampering and wellbeing.
The residential-style hotel fuses a sleek European style with Arab-Andalusian architecture. The beautiful gardens and striking interior design create a haven of understated elegance. Modern artwork and designs merge with traditional Arab-Andalusian features, setting a new standard for contemporary luxury.
The 142 guestrooms, including 15 suites, are luxuriously appointed with the highest quality of fixtures and designs. All rooms feature exclusive home comforts combined with business and entertainment gadgetry.
