YOTEL to open its first Saudi hotel in Neom’s Oxagon

YOTEL, the UK based hotel group, is going to open its first hotel in Saudi Arabia in Neom’s industrial center Oxagon.

According to Hubert Viriot, CEO of YOTEL: “Oxagon’s ambition to house hospitality assets where innovative design, sustainability and technologies converge, echoes our core values at YOTEL. Oxagon promises to be a unique destination where new tech-enabled hospitality experiences can be live-tested.”

The hotel will lie at the center of the integrated live-work-play Research and Innovation (R&I) district of Oxagon with a dedicated R&I campus. Strategically located on NEOM’s Red Sea coast, Oxagon is reimagining the traditional industrial city by developing multiple thriving residential and business communities.  

"Oxagon’s hotel strategy is built around several pillars including technology, which is key for integration within a wider smart-city infrastructure,” said Vishal Wanchoo, CEO of Oxagon.

The hotel will feature 300 rooms and showcase YOTEL’s latest features including the brand’s signature robotic concierge, motorized SmartBeds™, and fully integrated technologies. Guests will have access to Komyuniti – the brand’s signature multi-functional dining and co-working space, a 24-hour fitness centre, a Grab-and-Go Café, and meeting spaces used to network and relax. The surrounding areas will be walkable and connected to nearby communities through advanced, active, micro and autonomous mobility solutions.

The partnership marks the latest hotel agreement with NEOM’s Hotel Development, the division responsible for building a future-centric hospitality ecosystem in the Northwest corner of Saudi Arabia.
