The 249 residences range in size from one-bedroom suites to four-bedroom penthouses.

There are several dinging options at Fairmont Ramla Serviced Residences Riyadh. These include gourmet specialty venue Jones the Grocer, lifestyle-oriented restaurant Ramla Terraza, and Brute which is a dedicated steakhouse. CLAP offers traditional Japanese cuisine while The View Lounge and The Thirty-Five Lounge serve specialty dishes against the backdrop of city views. The property also features Iris Cafe as well as a 24-hour in-residence dining service.

This unveiling perfectly aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, fostering tourism and business opportunities.”
