Hilton has expanded its presence in Makkah with the opening of two new properties, bringing 1,767 additional rooms to the Holy City and offering more choice and comfort for the millions of visitors who arrive each year. Together, the openings mark an important step for the group, led by what is now the world’s largest hotel under the Tapestry Collection by Hilton brand.
The additions include DoubleTree by Hilton Makkah Aziziyah in the Al Aziziyah district and Wirgan Al Noor, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, located near the historic Hira Cave. Both hotels are owned by Wirgan Hospitality and operated under Hilton’s global standards, supporting Saudi Arabia’s continued efforts to welcome growing visitor numbers while maintaining high levels of service and hospitality.
Operations across both properties are overseen by cluster general manager Mohamed Lotfy, whose team works to ensure guests enjoy a seamless and welcoming experience, while allowing each hotel to offer something slightly different depending on where visitors choose to stay.
Tapestry Collection arrives in Makkah
Wirgan Al Noor marks the arrival of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton brand in Makkah and also becomes the largest hotel in the brand’s global portfolio. With 1,386 rooms and suites, the hotel sits less than 15 minutes by car from Masjid Al Haram, while its location near Hira Cave offers impressive views across the city.
Facilities cater well to the wide mix of visitors travelling to Makkah. An all-day dining restaurant serves both regional and international dishes, while a café offers lighter options throughout the day. Event spaces include two ballrooms and eight meeting rooms, suitable for family gatherings and larger group visits alike. A fitness centre and kids club also make the hotel especially convenient for families travelling together.
Its location also makes visits to Hira Cave easy to arrange, allowing guests to explore one of the area’s most significant landmarks alongside time spent at Masjid Al Haram. After busy days in the city, the hotel offers a calm, welcoming place to return to.
A DoubleTree Welcome in Al Aziziyah
On the eastern side of the city, DoubleTree by Hilton Makkah Aziziyah offers a different stay experience, placing guests just five minutes from Masjid Al Haram. With 381 rooms and suites, the hotel provides a comfortable and convenient base for visitors who want to stay close to the city’s main attractions.
Guests are welcomed, as always, with DoubleTree’s signature chocolate chip cookie, a small but much-loved tradition. Rooms are thoughtfully designed, balancing comfort and functionality for both short stays and longer visits.
Dining options include an all-day restaurant serving international and local cuisine, while the lobby coffee shop provides refreshments throughout the day. Flexible meeting rooms and a fully equipped fitness centre add further convenience for business travellers and group stays.
Hilton Honors
Both hotels are part of Hilton Honors, Hilton’s global loyalty programme covering 26 brands across more than 140 countries and territories. Guests who book directly enjoy benefits including flexible payment options combining points and cash, exclusive discounts, complimentary standard Wi-Fi and access to Hilton’s digital tools.
