As if being located in one of the world’s tallest buildings, the Hajar Tower, wasn’t enough, the Movenpick Hotel & Residences Hajar Tower Makkah also overlooks the holy Grand Mosque, Masjid Al Haram, and faces the King Abdul Aziz Gate. Shopping malls and entertainment complexes are nearby, too, though the hotel, which opened in 2010, features its own in-house shops and five dining outlets. Moreover, its rooms are decorated with cosy wooden furnishings inspired by Arabian style. Switzerland-based Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts was fully acquired by French giant AccorHotels in 2018 from former shareholders Mövenpick Holding and Saudi-based Kingdom Group.
