Narcissus Riyadh Hotel & Spa
A spa pool five minutes from Kingdom Tower
About this hotel
The pool here functions as one part of a full wellness floor rather than a stand-alone amenity: a hammam and steam room sit close by, and the sauna gets used as often as the water itself once the working day winds down. Rooms lean modern classic, with a minibar, flat-screen satellite TV and a marble bathroom with both a bath and shower, and suites add a separate seating area for longer stays. Dinner runs across three restaurants, from the Open Buffet's Asia-Pacific and Middle Eastern spread to a la carte Western dishes at Magnolia Lounge, open around the clock for pastries and drinks between meals, with meeting facilities and a 24-hour front desk covering the business side of the stay too.
- Spa pool with hammam
- Central business district location
- Three on-site restaurants
- Five-star rating
Our take
This suits business travellers based in the Olaya Street corridor who want the spa pool as an evening reset rather than a daytime feature, and the five-minute run to Kingdom Tower keeps it practical for meetings. Anyone chasing an outdoor pool or a quieter, low-key property should look elsewhere, since the whole point here is a full-service five-star wellness floor attached to a business hotel.
- ✓Book a room away from the Tahlia Street side if traffic noise bothers you at night.
- ✓Use the hammam before dinner rather than after; it's quieter in the early evening.
- ✓Reserve at Magnolia Lounge if you want a lighter, late-night option after the buffet closes.
Why we love it
- Hammam and steam room next to the pool

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the spa pool genuinely central to the routine rather than an afterthought: a swim followed by the hammam became the default way to close out a day of meetings on Tahlia Street. The marble bathroom and minibar covered the practical side well, and the five-minute run to Kingdom Tower meant evenings never felt wasted on transfers between the hotel and the rest of central Riyadh.
