Summer Nights at The Four Seasons

A Staycation That Redefines Luxury

There’s a certain kind of magic to summer nights in Riyadh — the hum of the city after dusk, the golden skyline, the quiet luxury of slowing down. And nowhere captures that magic more effortlessly than the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre, a destination where the concept of a staycation is elevated into a full-sensory, world-class experience.

I checked in on a Thursday afternoon with only one goal in mind: escape. But what I experienced was so much more. This wasn’t just a break, it was a reset and a reminder that luxury doesn’t have to mean far away. It can be found right in the heart of the city.

From the moment I stepped into the suite, I knew I was in for something unforgettable. Towering above Riyadh’s skyline, the suite is a private sanctuary of sophistication. Every detail feels specially curated, from the expansive marble bathroom and its deep soaking tub to the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the space in golden light. There's a calming stillness in the way the interiors are styled; opulent without ever being loud. It’s the kind of space that invites you to slow down, stretch out, and stay a little longer.

But the suite was just the beginning.

A Spa Experience That Transcends

After settling in, I headed down to the Four Seasons Spa, a space so serene it felt like I had walked into another world. I chose the signature massage, and from the very first moment, the lighting, the aroma, the hushed tone of the therapist, I knew this wasn’t going to be just a treatment. It was a full-body exhale.

The massage itself was masterful. Every stroke felt intentional, releasing weeks of tension I didn’t even realize I was holding. It was the kind of experience that lingers long after, a physical and emotional reset. Afterward, I was led to a quiet relaxation area, where I sipped herbal tea in silence, wrapped in a plush robe, completely blissed out.

Poolside Perfection & Fitness Done Right

Later, I made my way to the pool deck, a space that radiates understated glamour. Tucked away above the bustle of the city, it feels like a hidden oasis. I spent the late afternoon lounging by the water with a chilled drink that’s both stylish and serene. As the sun dipped behind the skyline, the city glowed around me while I floated in cool blue stillness.

For those who love to stay active, the fitness center is equally impressive. Outfitted with the latest equipment and bathed in natural light, it’s a gym that makes you want to show up, even on staycation. There’s a dedicated women’s section, and everything is kept pristine. Whether you’re lifting, cycling, or stretching, it feels like working out inside a private wellness club.

Café Boulud: Where Every Meal Is a Moment

Then came dinner, and what a dinner it was. Café Boulud, the French fine-dining concept by Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, is nothing short of exceptional. This summer, the restaurant has launched three distinct menus — for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — each carefully crafted to offer a unique culinary experience.

I tried the new dinner menu, and every dish was a revelation. Elegant without being fussy, generous without overwhelming, each plate felt like a love letter to fine dining. The flavors were vibrant, the service warm and polished, and the ambiance chic yet cozy. The next morning, I returned for breakfast where buttery croissants and café au lait were served against a backdrop of morning light and quiet conversation. It was Paris, in Riyadh, and it was perfect.

The Magic Is in the Details

Throughout my stay, what stood out most wasn’t just the grandeur, it was the thoughtfulness. A handwritten welcome card, perfectly timed room refreshes, subtle check-ins from staff who anticipated my needs before I even voiced them. The hospitality at Four Seasons Riyadh is effortless, intuitive, and genuinely warm. It’s the kind of service that doesn’t feel rehearsed, it feels like care.

The Verdict

If you’re staying in Riyadh this summer, consider it your sign to book two nights - or three - at Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh. The Summer Nights offer isn’t just an escape from routine. It’s a recalibration. A reminder that indulgence can be found in soft linens, warm greetings, cloudlike pillows, world-class cuisine, and moments of stillness by the pool.

Luxury isn’t about excess — it’s about how you feel in the space you’re in. And here, at Four Seasons, you feel held. Elevated. Restored.

Staycation? No.This was a soulcation.
