Al Khobar
Contemporary upscale hotel with a distinctly un-corporate feel — warm neutral palette, colourful accents, informal service ethos. More personality than the typical Gulf business hotel, less fuss than a true luxury resort.

Why It Matters
The closest thing Al Khobar has to a design-forward boutique hotel at a corporate price point. Rare combination of three distinct restaurants (Indian, Lebanese, international), a proper wellness spa with gender-segregated facilities, and the polish of an international brand without the anonymity.
A 130-room upscale hotel on Al Khobar's main commercial artery, voco Al Khobar punches well above its weight for this Saudi port city. The IHG-owned voco brand keeps things contemporary without being sterile — think marble bathrooms, This Works toiletries, and Smart TVs alongside a three-restaurant setup and a sixth-floor spa. Five minutes from the Eastern Province business hub, it pulls double duty for corporate travelers and families, which shows in everything from the 24/7 business center to the kids-eat-free policy.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Deluxe Room
The entry-level room at voco Al Khobar and still a solid package. Subtle design, quality bedding, marble bathroom with power shower, executive desk, Smart TV, and fragrant This Works toiletries. Picture windows look out over downtown Al Khobar. Nothing flashy, but everything works.
2 Twin Beds or 1 King Bed · 30 sqm
Grand Room
The most distinctive room category at the hotel. At 53 sqm, these are genuinely spacious — nearly double the entry-level footprint. Includes a living area and a Jacuzzi. Designed in warm tones with proper separation between the working and sleeping zones. The go-to for business travelers who spend more than a night.
1 King Bed · 53 sqmPremium Room
A step up from the Deluxe with the same footprint but elevated finishes. Same marble bathroom and This Works toiletries, same Smart TV setup. Good choice if you want a little more refinement without committing to a suite.
