List of Makkah Hotels

Mecca--or Makkah, as it is known in Saudi Arabia and much of the rest of the Muslim world--is home to Islam's holiest site. As such, only Muslims are permitted to enter. As a Muslim, then, whether you are visiting the area to trek the desert, to complete the Haj or simply to take in the sights, Makkah has much to offer. In the way of hotels, too, the city possesses everything from the incredibly luxurious to the low-scale budget--and a little in-between.

Dar Al Salam Makkah Hotel

For the traveler seeking something more in line with a modest budget, consider the Dar Al Salam Makkah Hotel, a local 2-star establishment offering 192 rooms spread out over 19 floors. The hotel is located conveniently just a minute or two by foot from the Holy Mosque. The hotel offers basic accommodation services--like room service, private bathroom, air-conditioned rooms and wake-up call services. A variety of restaurants, both upscale and budget, are located in the same area.

Ajyad Makkah Makarim Hotel

For a little less money, but still generous amounts of luxury, you may want to consider the Ajyad Makkah Makarim Hotel. With 409 guest rooms and suites, this hotel offers 24-hour room service, laundry services and a business center. Its rooms come with central air conditioning, telephone, television with satellite, radio, a mini fridge and electronic safe deposit boxes. The hotel additionally boasts three dining options--a restaurant serving both Middle Eastern and Continental cuisine, a cafe offering everything from snacks to sandwiches to pastries, and a coffee shop that serves light meals, snacks and desserts. The hotel is located within walking distance of the Holy Mosque.

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.
