Sofitel Jabal Omar Makkah will bring French elegance and Saudi heritage together in a twin-tower address beside Masjid Al Haram.
Sofitel is strengthening its presence in Saudi Arabia with its most ambitious project to date. Opening in 2026 within the Jabal Omar master development, Sofitel Jabal Omar Makkah will be the largest Sofitel in the world. The location is a clear highlight. Direct pedestrian access to Masjid Al Haram places guests steps from the heart of Makkah, making the hotel an appealing choice for pilgrims year-round.
True to the brand’s art de vivre, the design will blend Parisian polish with local craft. Expect warm textures, refined detailing and serene palettes that reflect the spirit of the city. The property spans two towers, Sofitel Jabal Omar Makkah North and Sofitel Jabal Omar Makkah South, with a combined 1,141 rooms and suites. Many accommodations offer views of the Holy Mosque, while others overlook the city skyline.
Dining will be a focus. Across the twin towers, guests can choose from six venues alongside elegant lobby lounges. Club Millesime, Sofitel’s executive lounge, will offer a private setting for breakfast, refreshments and personalised service. Beyond the table, the hotel plans a programme of wellness rituals and curated sensory experiences inspired by both France and Saudi Arabia.
The opening marks a significant milestone for Sofitel in the Kingdom. The brand already operates in key destinations with Sofitel Al Khobar The Corniche and the soon-to-open Sofitel Riyadh. Sofitel Jabal Omar Makkah will build on that foundation with scale, proximity and a design narrative that honours place. With its prime address, extensive room inventory and considered amenities, the hotel is set to welcome travellers during peak pilgrimage seasons and throughout the year.
The new opening underscores the momentum of Saudi Arabia’s hospitality sector. From Riyadh to Jeddah and now Makkah, major brands continue to invest in projects that elevate guest experiences while supporting the country’s tourism vision. When doors open in 2026, this flagship will stand as a statement of intent for the brand and the destination.
