Astoria Jeddah - Qasr Al Sharq
Arabian Palace — maximalist, opulent, gold-and-crystal aesthetic rooted in Islamic design. Think silk fabrics, carved woodwork, and a majlis in the top suites. Formal but not stuffy.
Book a sea-view suite over city-view — the Red Sea light at dusk from the balcony is the whole point
Why It Matters
One of the most intimate Waldorf Astoria properties globally with only 46 rooms, all suites. Home to Saudi Arabia's first women-only spa. Earned a MICHELIN Key in 2025. The top-tier Qasr Al Sharq Suite spans nearly 1,000 square meters — half an entire floor — with a private health club inside the room.
Qasr Al Sharq — Arabic for 'Palace of the East' — is exactly what it sounds like. This is a 46-room all-suite hotel on Jeddah's North Corniche, where you walk in under a three-story Swarovski chandelier and every room has a Red Sea view. Gold accents, marble bathrooms, Italian furnishings, and arabesque detailing do the talking. It earned a MICHELIN Key in 2025, and it's one of the smallest Waldorf Astoria properties in the world by room count.
