From spa indulgence to world-class dining, Mansard Riyadh sets a new standard of escape

There are hotels that you visit and then there are hotels that you sink into as if they were crafted entirely for you. Mansard Riyadh, part of the Radisson Collection, belongs firmly in the latter category. Our team at The Riyadh EDIT recently took a staycation at this landmark property, and from the moment we arrived it felt less like checking into a hotel and more like entering a perfectly composed world of elegance, comfort, and timeless charm.

The room itself was a revelation. Sunlight poured through tall windows that framed the city in soft, flattering tones, while interiors balanced classic Parisian inspiration with understated modern luxury. Every detail seemed to whisper a gentle invitation to unwind. A bed that embraced rather than simply supported, crisp linens, generous space, and a bathroom so polished it felt like a sanctuary in its own right. These are the kinds of surroundings that transform rest into restoration.

Our afternoon led us to the L’Occitane Spa, a jewel within Mansard that combines the best of French wellness philosophy with Saudi warmth. From the moment the therapist guided us in, the experience felt seamless. The aroma of lavender drifted softly in the air, the treatment bed perfectly warmed, and each movement of the massage precise and unhurried. An hour passed in what seemed like minutes, and by the end our shoulders were light, our minds completely still. This was not simply a massage, it was a reawakening of balance.

Rejuvenated, we made our way to L’Ami Dave for lunch, where the French inspired menu unfolded like a love letter to brasserie dining. Plates arrived that were as beautiful as they were satisfying. Every bite reminded us why Riyadh’s dining scene has become a conversation in itself. From delicate starters to mains layered with flavor, the meal was both elevated and comforting, like the embrace of an old friend dressed in couture.

Dinner was an entirely different chapter. At Carbone, energy pulsed through the space with the kind of vibrancy only Italian American glamour can provide. The lighting glowed golden, the tables buzzed with anticipation, and the food spoke its own language. Think plates of rigatoni in spicy vodka sauce that felt like an instant classic, veal parmigiana that lingered in memory long after the last bite, and service that struck the perfect balance between polished and playful. Dining here was not simply a meal, it was theater.

Morning arrived too soon, but Sadelle’s ensured the start of the day was as special as the evening before. The scent of fresh bagels baking filled the air, coffee arrived just as we imagined it should, and plates stacked with pancakes, eggs, and pastries felt like a celebration of breakfast itself. It was leisurely, it was chic, and it reminded us that sometimes the simplest meals are also the most indulgent.
As we checked out, we could not help but feel that Mansard Riyadh had given us more than just a stay. It offered a rhythm, a flow, a series of moments that together told a story of beauty, comfort, and indulgence. For anyone seeking a staycation that feels like an escape yet keeps you in the heart of Riyadh, Mansard is a destination that redefines what it means to get away.
