Indigo Hotel

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Set within the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), this 209-key hotel is designed by Gensler to provide a five-star hospitality experience for guests through the combination of luxury amenities and a youthful and vibrant vibe. Key features include an open atrium that spans the building’s full height, a main lobby enveloped by a classic Arabic courtyard, and a veil that visually links the ground and first floors and defines visitor routes through the hotel. The kinetic design was inspired by the geometry of the building, with light contributing a lively, emotive, and prismatic depth, for a unique ambiance that relates to the emerging district in Riyadh.
