Radisson Hotel Group has launched the Radisson Blu Hotel, Riyadh Al Sahafa, introducing a new place to stay in the northern area of the Saudi capital. Located roughly 20 minutes from King Khalid International Airport, the hotel offers quick access to key highways linking the district with major business centers and urban attractions. This new addition highlights Riyadh’s growing hotel network, giving visitors a wider range of places to stay and helping them plan their trips with more ease.

The opening comes at a time when Sahafa is rapidly changing, with new shopping spots, leisure areas, and open spaces giving the district a fresh and lively vibe. Visitors in this area can enjoy being steps away from local restaurants and fun places to go out, without having to spend extra time stuck in traffic heading from downtown hotels. The growing infrastructure in Sahafa makes it an increasingly convenient base for both business trips and leisure visits.

Riyadh Park Mall is only a short distance from the hotel and offers many shopping and dining choices, along with a Vox Cinema showing international films daily. Close by, Boulevard World attracts visitors in the evenings with lighted walkways, themed areas inspired by global destinations, boat rides on a scenic lake, and street performances that create a lively atmosphere for both locals and tourists.

King Salman Social Center is a short walk from the hotel and has wide green areas with walking paths, jogging routes, and spaces for families to spend time together, making it a favored spot for outdoor relaxation. Also nearby is VIA Riyadh, a modern district with pedestrian streets lined with cafés, restaurants serving local and global food, and small outdoor art installations. Both spots let visitors enjoy Riyadh’s lively and contemporary atmosphere outside the city center.

The newly opened Radisson Blu in Sahafa adds another practical lodging choice for visitors, located near busy shopping streets, casual hangouts, and public areas where they can relax or take a walk. With more hotels opening around Riyadh, travelers can choose locations that cut down on travel time between their accommodation, meeting places, and evening plans. This shows the city’s effort to offer visitors more comfort and convenience.
