Accor Hotel Services Middle East, one of the leading hospitality groups, signed a management agreement last June 4 in Jeddah with Al Ahlam Holding to operate the new ibis Madinah Road in Jeddah. The hotel will have approximately 300 units.



“This signature is the outcome of discussions initiated by His Highness Prince Abdullah Bin Saud Bin Mohammad Al Saud back in 2011 to develop two ibis properties in the Kingdom,” said Christophe Landais, Chief Operating Officer for Accor HotelServices Middle East. “After the successful opening earlier this year of ibis Yanbu, owned by Prince Abdullah, we are delighted to sign our second ibis - ibis Madinah Road with Al Ahlam Holding.”



ibis, the leading economy brand of Accor, has earned a worldwide reputation for excellent services at very competitive prices, and is the first hotel brand in Europe to be awarded the ISO 9001 certification, which  guarantees quality. All ibis properties in the Middle East are ISO 9001 certified.



In addition to affordable rates, the ibis guarantee of quality ensures guests have a comfortable stay at the hotel. The ‘15 minutes satisfaction guarantee’ embodies ibis’ concrete commitment to quality: if an ibis guest reports a problem that is the hotel’s responsibility, ibis staff are committed to finding a solution within 15 minutes – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If no solution is found, the client’s stay is free of charge.



Prince Abdullah Bin Saud Bin Mohammad Al-Saud, owner of Al Ahlam Holding Group, said: “Al Ahlam Holding is delighted to partner with France-based Accor group, a global leader in hospitality. Our first successful experience with the ibis Yanbu was undeniably an encouraging factor to pursue further cooperation with Accor. We are confident that ibis Jeddah Madinah Road will be a remarkable property and a valuable addition to Jeddah City, “the bride of the Red Sea”. Leveraging its great location and capacity, the future ibis Jeddah Madinah Road will cater to the growing need for quality economy hotels.”



The ibis Madinah Road has a prime and central location that is easily accessible from King Abdullah Road and Palestine Street, one of the main roads leading to the Jeddah Corniche, which offers many restaurants and entertainment options. – SG
