In Saudi Arabia and the widerMiddle East, long-stay guests are more discerning than ever, withexpectations to match.’
Cheval Maison – Sulaymaniyah’s design is inspired by two types of Saudi Arabian architecture – Salmani and Najdi – to integrate traditional Saudi heritage with today’s design and build trends. Both have been integrated for regional identity.
‘We have focused on preserving Saudi culture while bringingmodern urban design into the mix,’ said Quentin Ricks. ‘Salmani architecture, hallmark of urban development in Riyadh, strikes a balance between tradition and current design trends, while Najdi architecture is characterised by central courtyards, geometricopenings and climate-adaptive design. Guests will experience a seamless blend of the two at Cheval Maison – Sulaymaniyah.’
