Thailand’s Minor Hotels & DGDA unite to develop Anantara Hotel in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia’s Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Thailand-based international hotel owner, operator, and investor, Minor Hotels in order to develop a hotel under the Anantara brand.

Diriyah is set to become the historic hub of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and will showcase 300+ years of the country’s history through an engaging and inspiring set of cultural, heritage, hospitality, education, shopping, and dining experiences for residents, tourists, and frequent visitors.

According to the company statement, “Located just outside the Saudi capital of Riyadh, the Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA) is transforming more than 11 square kilometers of Diriyah into what will become the world’s largest cultural and lifestyle development, which will be home to 38 hotel brands, more than 100 restaurants and 400 plus luxury retail brands and souk offerings.”

Anantara will be bringing its experience-led indigenous luxury to DGDA with a new hotel. “Currently in the final stages of planning, further details of the upcoming new property will be announced soon,” the company said.
