Star rating

The hotel

You’ve landed in Riyadh, and there’s no time to mess about. Enter: Fairmont Riyadh - where the airport’s close, the service is five-star slick, and every inch of the place is dialled up to luxury. This is the kind of hotel that knows exactly what you need before you even ask. Seamless check-in? Tick. Pillow-soft bed with blackout blinds for post-flight shuteye? Of course. Power shower that gets you boardroom-ready in minutes? You bet. You’re here on business, but Fairmont doesn’t do basic. This is high-end hospitality with all the polish you'd expect from the Fairmont name - attentive, intuitive, and always one step ahead. The service? Impeccable. The setting? As sleek as your best suit. Best bit? It’s just a short drive from King Khalid International Airport, so you can be wheels down and checked in faster than you can say room service, please.

I stayed at Fairmont Riyadh expecting a world-class experience. Unfortunately, I am now left chasing a refund for over a month because of a charge that was never properly reversed. Despite repeated communication, my debit card was charged at check-in and the funds were never returned. Fairmont claims it was only an "authorization," but my bank has confirmed the amount was fully debited and is still on hold. The bank made it clear this type of transaction requires the hotel to manually release the funds which has gotten zero support for almost 2 months now. What is more concerning is the lack of accountability or escalation. My money has been tied up for weeks with no clear resolution from Fairmont. I stay at hotels frequently across Saudi Arabia and abroad, and I have never encountered this kind of handling or lack of follow-up. Read less
