Le Méridien Makkah
Le Méridien Makkah, Makkah's most expensive and upscale hotel, offers guests a view that no other hotel in the city can match: a perch overlooking the Holy Mosque itself. The hotel is also just a few hundred feet from the famous King Abdulaziz Gate. Featuring 255 guest rooms and suites, Le Méridien Makkah offers everything you'd expect from a top-notch luxury hotel: limo services, a business center, a gift shop, Internet access, currency exchange services, dry cleaning services, a VIP floor, a news stand, a barber shop, a shoe shine area, 24-hour room service, luggage storage, floral services and even secretarial services. The hotel's two restaurants actually overlook the Holy Mosque--one serving Asian cuisine and the other international fare--plus Le Méridien Makkah offers a more laid-back dining option in its Mazaaj Lobby Cafe. A night at Le Méridien Makkah is more expensive during the month of Ramadan, than during the rest of the year.
