Welcome to the St. Regis Riyadh, where I felt like a KING staying in the $4,000/ night John Jacob Astor suite! This property feels like staying in a fortress and is Marriott’s 500th luxury property worldwide, located in the exclusive Via Riyadh district. Join me inside for a full tour of this ultra-rare suite, a look at the mind-blowing spa facilities, and don’t miss my honest comparison of the neighboring Ritz-Carlton (and why I think you should skip it!). 🏎️ Book the Red Sand Desert Tour (Dune Buggies & Camels) featured in this video: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractio... 🛫 A New Luxury Destination Every Week!-- Every Saturday I upload a new luxury hotel review from around the world.
