The property, which stands against the magnificent Red Sea, acts as more than just a hotel. It’s an emblem of a new age of understated luxury that skillfully combines Jeddah’s storied past with a stylish, contemporary edge. From the moment you step inside, The Jeddah Edition envelopes you in an air of opulence. The soaring lobby ceiling, bathed in warm light, is the hotel’s vibrant center. Beneath its twelve-meter ceilings, the city’s renowned sunsets are echoed by an eye-catching orange sphere created by artist Vincent Leroy. However, it’s the small details—Persian rugs, modern walnut furniture, and the aroma of Le Labo—that carry you away to a world where luxurious design and heritage coexist harmoniously.

The Jeddah Edition’s rooms are discreetly luxurious havens that are perfect for the refined traveler. With only eleven suites and fifty-two rooms, closeness is paramount. The Penthouse redefines extravagance with its vast views of the Formula 1 track and the Red Sea. Envision luxurious bedding, sunlit balconies that invite you to relax, and standalone baths. The jewel in the crown, though, is the 600 square meters of elevated living that are stretched across two levels of the Royal Penthouse, equipped with private security access and a terrace with front-row seats to some of Jeddah’s most iconic views.

Dining at The Jeddah Edition is nothing short of an adventure. The signature restaurant, Maritime, under the visionary direction of chef Cédric Vongerichten, delivers a sensory journey where French-Asian fusion takes center stage. Inspired by his love for Asian flavors and his mastery of French techniques, the menu bursts with creativity. Picture local shrimp dumplings kissed by lemongrass beurre blanc, or the irresistible Saffron Spritz—a perfect blend of ginger honey and fresh saffron. For those looking to dine alfresco, the terrace offers panoramic views of the Red Sea, shaded by century-old olive trees and vibrant bougainvillea. Meanwhile, the lively Lobby Bar serves artisanal coffees, teas, and pastries, and The Den provides a cozy retreat for cigar aficionados, pairing fine cigars with decadent desserts and mocktails. Each venue brings forth a distinct flavor, contributing to Jeddah’s growing reputation as a luxury dining destination.

Beyond the suites and dining, The Jeddah Edition offers a wealth of chic experiences. The Roof is a Mediterranean-style refuge featuring a modern pool surrounded by luxurious sunbeds and cabanas draped in bougainvillea. Here, locals and visitors alike may escape the mundane with wood-fired grills and mezze platters best enjoyed against panoramic views of the F1 track and Yacht Club. For an extra helping of tranquility, the spa is an intimate hideaway that offers treatments with the renowned Natura Bissé products, while the gym ensures guests stay on track with their wellness goals.
In a city where modernity and tradition intertwine, The Jeddah Edition stands as a beacon of what’s to come. This is an invitation to see Jeddah from a totally different perspective, and a home you’ll want to return to.
