IHG® Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of a management agreement with Al Rabea Hotels and Trading Co. for Holiday Inn Najran, KSA. The hotel is returning to the IHG family having operated as a Holiday Inn hotel from 1995 to 2015.

The new hotel is expected to be fully rebranded by the end of 2023, with completion taking place in two phases.

Following the renovation and rebranding, the hotel will offer 82 rooms and five villas, complemented by recreational facilities including an outdoor pool, a gym, a sauna and a steam and jacuzzi. The hotel will also offer various dining options, including an all-day dining, a coffee shop, a lobby lounge and a poolside lounge. Business guests will also have access to four meeting rooms.
