Saudi developer Jabal Omar Development Company (JODC) has announced that H Hospitality Collection has been picked to manage its new five-star hotel in Makkah.
The agreement is a significant milestone for H Hospitality Collection as the new hotel marks its first venture in the kingdom, a statement said.
It added that the hotel is part of the Jabal Omar mega-development, with a total built-up area of over 2 million square metres, featuring residences, hotels, malls, retail amenities, prayer areas and other facilities.
