The Holy City of Makkah has been a pilgrimage destination for hundreds of years, therefore, a welcoming place for travellers and pilgrims. This spirit of hospitality is translated into the Shaza Makkah Hotel, located nearby the Great Mosque of Al Masjid Al Haram in the new district of Jabal Al Kaaba. Being at the heart of the city, the design concept embodies both a visual connection with the Holy Site as well as the pause and rest required after a busy day of pilgrimage.

The hotel, with 251 guest rooms units, manifests the cohesion of a millenary tradition which is reinterpreted through a contemporary interior design language recognizable to both local and international guests.

Thus, a welcoming reception is highlighted together with the reinterpretation of local attributes through the design and materials.

The lobby exemplifies both concepts. The use of gold and golden hues set the tone, and it’s hard not to admire the impressive lattice work behind the reception desks or the grandeur of the staircase. Other common spaces like the restaurant employ features like a glass curtain tinted in red tones, a perfect envelope for the food buffet, as well as the wood lattices which divide yet provide openness for dinners to not feel enclosed in the space.

The main lobby is conceived like a cosmopolitan and modern space highlighted by a double-storey height and organized by modular elements. The whole space is designed with simple lines and natural colours, with some local element references that give the Hotel an identity and make the difference between this hotel and others from the same brand.

The bedroom feels like a bright quiet space, with some splashes of strong graphic elements that give to the room a design statement and a local identity. The restaurant is one of the social meeting spaces. It is about an open space, the use of natural colours and materials, an elegant yet casual and modern atmosphere. The space is connected to the exterior through the outdoor terrace.
