Shaza Hotels confirms three new hotels in the Middle East



Following the signing of Shaza Doha at Arabian Travel Market 2013, Shaza Hotels now announce the signing of a new hotel in Jeddah, KSA and one in Amman, Jordan.
Dubai, UAE:
Three more hotels have been added to the Shaza Portfolio. The brands growing reputation
is clearly reflected in the signing of these iconic properties, which will set a new benchmark for five star
hotels in these prominent cities.
Shaza Jeddah, which was signed on Sunday 22nd September 2013 in Jeddah, is the most recent of the
three projects to be signed. Shaza’s handcrafted guest experiences have inspired every aspect of the
hotel, from the triple-story lobby, the signature Shaza Hammam and Spa, three new concepts in dining
and the vast ballroom, to the 140 spacious rooms and suites. As part of the Jeddah Chamber of
Commerce and Industry, this design led property is due to open early 2017.
Shaza Amman will be part of an exciting mixed-use complex, featuring a luxurious shopping mall and
an office tower. Offering exceptional panoramic views from the heart of the city, the hotel will be the
closest downtown five-star hotel to the newly opened Queen Alia International Airport. The 203 room
property will feature the first suspended restaurant and the largest Hammam and Spa in the city, and is
expected to open in the second quarter of 2014.
“There has been an increase in demand in recent years for high quality, internationally-branded hotels in
the region that encapsulate the values and cultures of the Silk Route, but more precisely the MENA
region. We have identified Jeddah and Amman, as strategically significant locations for Shaza and we are
proud to be associated with these world class projects. In addition to our award winning properties,
these hotels will form an essential part of our growing network of hotels.” Simon Coombs, the President
and CEO of Shaza Hotels said at the signing.
With an existing portfolio of 11 hotels under development or in operation, and 6 projects in advanced
discussions, Shaza Hotels continues to be on track to achieve their aim of having 25 luxury hotels in the
