Each of the 238 well-appointed rooms and 39 suites is equipped with the Langham signature Blissful bed, motorized drapes and separate large format rain showers. Guests who prefer to live the high life may choose to stay in the opulent two-bedroom Royal Suite spanning 295 square meters with separate sitting, dining and cooking areas that allow for private entertaining.

Headlining the multiple outlets will be a Mediterranean-inspired seafood restaurant with an open terrace; a high-end grill concept with a chef’s table and a dry-aged meat locker display; traditional afternoon tea at Palm Court; a specialty lounge featuring a cigar humidor and a specially designated, air-conditioned smoking room; and the all-day dining restaurant featuring international cuisine and which may accommodate 138 guests.

The city’s Al-Balad historic district dates to the 7th century and retains traditional homes built from coral.
