Dubai-based MMAC Design Associates has been appointed as interior designer on two large multiple brand 5, 4 and 3 star hotel projects in Saudi Arabia.
The first project is being developed in Makkah by Umm Al Qura and is part of the King Abdul Aziz Road Development which stretches over almost 4km from the western entrance of the holy city to the Jabal Omar project. It covers an area of over 1.2 million square metres, with hotels, residential & commercial towers situated on both sides.
MMAC said it has been tasked with designing the interiors of the luxurious 383-key Kempinski Hotel and a 392-key four star Embassy by Hilton property in addition to the adjoining residential tower.
“We are extremely proud to have been chosen by lead design consultants Omrania to work with them on this momentous development” said managing director Christian Merieau without disclosing the value of the contracts.
“Our design will be appreciated by visitors from every corner of the globe, as they visit the holy city. Projects of this scale and in such prestigious location don’t come up very often, so naturally we are thrilled to be involved in helping create history,” he added.
MMAC said it will also be working on the interior design of three Starwood properties within the Al Widyan project in Riyadh. The trio will comprise a 242-key five star Westin Hotel and 93 Westin branded residences plus the first 201 key three star Element by Westin Hotel in Saudi Arabia. Scheduled to open in 2022, they will see the return of the Westin marque to the kingdom.
