Saudi Arabia is to boast the world’s largest hotel when Abraj Kudai in Makkah is completed.
The project has a total built area of 1.4m m2 and will have 10,000 rooms in 12 separate towers.
Work on the US $3.5 billion project has begun and is expected to open in 2017.
The hotel will also house 70 restaurants, four rooftop helipads, royal floors and a full size convention centre.
Ten of the towers will provide four-star accommodation while the remaining two will offer five-star amenities.
“We are honoured to be trusted with such a challenge,” said Andrew Lindwood, head of design at Areen Hospitality.
“Designing hotel interiors on such a massive scale, with no operators yet in place, requires complex programming and design resourcing.”
