Hilton Doubles Down on Saudi Arabia: Over $8 Billion Invested for 100‑Hotel Pipeline
Hilton has now passed the milestone of 100 hotels either open or in development in Saudi Arabia, with a combined owner investment of USD 8 billion.
This major expansion supports Saudi Vision 2030, aligning with the Kingdom’s ambition to boost tourism, diversify its economy, and build world-class hospitality infrastructure.
Hilton’s rollout will span 14 of its brand categories, from premium economy to ultra-luxury, adding over 22,000 new rooms across key markets.
Significantly, nearly two-thirds of its pipeline is already under construction, showing strong momentum and commitment. The expansion is expected to create 15,000+ jobs, with at least half reserved for Saudi nationals, reinforcing Hilton’s long-term dedication to local development.
On the luxury end, Hilton is strengthening its presence with Conrad and Waldorf Astoria properties, including a new Conrad in Riyadh’s Laysen Valley (opening 2026), a Waldorf Astoria at Diriyah Gate, and more in Madinah and Riyadh. The company is also introducing Tempo by Hilton, its lifestyle‑economy brand, to the region, with Tempo Riyadh Al Narjis expected in 2029.
Other notable projects include a Curio Collection branded residence in Riyadh and lifestyle hotels in key Saudi cities.
This bold, multi-brand push highlights how Hilton is leveraging its full ecosystem, from economy to luxury, to capture Saudi Arabia’s hospitality transformation.
Hilton’s Saudi Arabia expansion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: with $8 billion in pipeline investment, luxury and lifestyle brands rolling out across major cities, and over 22,000 new rooms coming online, this is the moment to partner, innovate, and claim a stake in the Kingdom’s hospitality transformation.
