Hyatt Regency Riyadh Olaya offers 261 guest rooms, including 40 suites, spread across 28 floors. All guest rooms and suites feature panoramic views of the vibrant city of Riyadh, and incorporate subtle local touches and design elements, including patterned leather panels that are embroidered with a contemporary interpretation of a Middle Eastern mashrabiya motif.
Located on the 26th floor with spectacular views, the hotel’s Regency Club offers guests exclusive services, including complimentary Internet access, use of the lounge meeting room, breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening beverages with hors d’oeuvres.
Hyatt Regency Riyadh Olaya features a wide range of culinary experiences that meet guests’ diverse needs and preferences. The hotel offers Azure, a contemporary dining destination that offers Aegean cuisine from Greece and Turkey with an open-kitchen concept and a wood-fired oven and charcoal grill. Additionally, the hotel offers Fifty Sixth Avenue Diner, a chic and welcoming all-day dining restaurant serving traditional American food.
Hyatt Regency Riyadh Olaya offers more than 1,000 square meters of extensive conference and banquet facilities, including the Al Loulou’a Ballroom, which can be divided up into three separate rooms and seat up to 500 people theater-style. With eight flexible event venues, the hotel is the perfect venue for a variety of events such as weddings, social banquets, exhibitions, meetings, and conferences. 
Guests are invited to recharge in the hotel’s Sokoun Spa, which offers four treatment rooms and a variety of wellness services, including relaxation massages and therapeutic body treatments. A traditional Moroccan Hammam invites guests to unwind from the day’s stress with a cleansing steam or sauna. The wellness and fitness facilities also include an indoor swimming pool, a multi-purpose court and a kids’ club.
