Located on the shores of the Red Sea, the hotel finds itself surrounded by the lively and increasingly popular Jeddah Corniche. The waterfront location offers guests a chance to escape from the urban chaos of the city and indulge themselves in a serene coastal strip. From pristine beaches and a palm-lined promenade to a wide array of restaurants and the floating mosque, this area has something for everyone. All you have to do is step outside, and Jeddah’s top destinations will be at your disposal.

Shangri-La Jeddah is situated within the Burj Assila, an award-winning architectural marvel designed by the internationally renowned architectural and design firm Perkins+Will. Interiors and aesthetics are built around the three main elements of the brand’s design philosophy – Asian sensibilities, nature inspiration, and spirit of place. What emerges then is a perfect symbiosis between Shangri-La’s timeless savoir-faire and the surrounding environment. Shades of blue, white, and gray reflect the mesmerizing vistas of this seaside setting while carefully considered design elements infuse the hotel with natural light.

The desire to fully immerse guests in the natural elements outside is extended throughout the property’s 220 accommodations, including rooms, suites, and serviced apartments. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views over the Red Sea or the Jeddah skyline, while light wood paneling and blue patterned carpets further cement a strong spatial connection. Spacious balconies provide the opportunity to lounge in privacy as the gentle sea breeze flows across your skin.
