With an opening date expected for 2023, Fairmont Ajdan Al Khobar will feature 160 rooms and serviced apartments, four dining outlets and meeting rooms to accommodate large social and corporate events.

In addition to the rooms, the hotel will also feature a Gold Lounge, a Fairmont Spa, a fitness area, a swimming pool and a kids’ club.
