InterContinental Riyadh by IHG
Luxury stay with golf, pools, and easy stadium access
About this hotel
The InterContinental Riyadh by IHG provides a luxurious base for your stadium visit, offering a serene escape with its 9-hole golf course and spa facilities. While not directly adjacent to the stadium, its excellent transport links and free parking make match day logistics straightforward. You can enjoy a meal at the hotel's restaurant or a drink at the bar before heading out. The hotel is well-equipped for families, featuring kid-friendly amenities and an outdoor pool. After the match, return to plush quarters and unwind, knowing your car is securely parked or that public transport options are accessible for further city exploration or airport transfers.

Our take
InterContinental Riyadh is the five-star base I would pick for a longer Riyadh stay with family around a match or concert, mainly for the space: a 9-hole golf course, an outdoor pool and a spa. With 9.2/10 across more than 18,000 reviews, its service holds up at scale. Free parking makes the car the simple option for stadium days, while fans who want to walk to the gates will not find that here.
- Utilise the free parking if you're driving to the stadium, it simplifies match day logistics
- Plan your public transport route to the stadium in advance to avoid last-minute rushes
- Book a spa treatment for the morning after a late-night match to fully relax and unwind
Why we love it
- Luxury amenities including golf and spa
- Free parking for match day convenience
- Outdoor pool and kid-friendly facilities
- Refined dining and bar options
Why guests love itInterContinental Riyadh scores 9.2/10 from more than 18,000 reviews and is the rare stadium-trip hotel with its own 9-hole golf course. Families get kid-friendly amenities and an outdoor pool, adults a spa, and there is a restaurant and a bar on site. Parking is free, which matters in a city best covered by car, and public transport runs to the airport. The stadium is not next door, so I would plan the drive on event days.
