The French hotelier’s Campanile brand will also be part of these openings.

Louvre Hotels’ plans to accelerate growth in the country is partially motivated by Saudi Arabia’s goal to welcome 100 million visitors by 2030.

The group aims to fulfil this estimated demand with its midscale and upscale hotel brands.

Louvre Hotels Group CEO Pierre-Frédéric Roulot said: “Saudi Arabia represents a strategic market for our global development, due in great part to its focus on tourism and the extraordinary choice of destinations it offers.

“Launching Campanile, our midscale brand, in this region is a point of pride for us because we want to inaugurate an innovative yet affordable offer, able to satisfy local customers and international tourists alike.”

Currently, Louvre Hotels Group operates 1,600 hotels in 54 countries around the world.

In February, the hotel chain reached a strategic long-term technology partnership with Sabre to sustain our ambitions.
