Zamzam Pullman Makkah Hotel, owned by Munshaat Real Estate Projects Company, has announced the beginning of its renovation work, which will include upgrades to its 1,315 rooms, suites and overall facilities.
The renovation is part of a development plan aimed at modernizing the hotel in accordance with its future aspirations and strategy, underlining its history as the first hotel in the Abraj Al-Bait project, which is also called Makkah Clock Tower, while preserving its distinctive identity marked out over the years. To undertake the project, the Saudi Lana group has been appointed as a project contractor and international consulting firm JLL Jones Lang Lasal as project manager.
Zamzam Pullman Makkah Hotel has a unique design that reflects the elegant classical character that brings a spiritual vibe, which fits in with its status and location, directly overlooking the Grand Mosque of Makkah and the Holy Kaaba. The renovation work will add more luxury and distinction to the new decorations and furniture in all of the hotel’s rooms and suites, as well as hotel lobbies, restaurants and café.
Samer Khair, cluster general manager of Zamzam Pullman Makkah and Madinah, said: “The guests of Allah are expected to enjoy the elegant classical character of the hotel after renovation of its rooms, suites and facilities. We will offer them an ideal residency experience amid an atmosphere of spirituality and originality.”
He added: “Zamzam Pullman Makkah Hotel is considered one of the most important hotels in Saudi Arabia, especially in Makkah, and it is the first hotel in the Abraj Al-Bait project.”
Khair said that the renovation work will take place in several stages, while the property carries on normal operations.
“We are working to preserve the hotel’s position and its history within the religious tourism system; our goal is to provide hospitality services at the highest quality to achieve an integrated religious tourism experience for visitors and pilgrims,” he said.
