Mövenpick Hotel & Residence Hajar Tower Makkah, Five-star hotel in Abraj Al Bait complex, Mecca, Saudi Arabia
The Mövenpick Hotel & Residence Hajar Tower is a building within the Abraj Al Bait complex, offering approximately 1,200 rooms and suites with direct views of the Grand Mosque. The architectural complex sits centrally in Mecca and was designed as a large residential hotel project.
The hotel opened in 2009 as part of the major Abraj Al Bait development project near the Grand Mosque. This development transformed central Mecca's landscape and created extensive lodging options directly adjacent to Islam's holiest site.
The restaurants serve international and Swiss cuisine while strictly following Islamic dietary rules and local Saudi cooking traditions. Visitors find a blend of European and Middle Eastern flavors that respectfully honors both culinary worlds.
Guests enter through the King Abdul Aziz Gate, with check-in from 16:00 and check-out between 06:30 and 11:30. All visitors must provide health information through the Tawkalna app, and staff can assist with UMRA permit preparation.
The hotel actively assists guests with UMRA permit applications, making the administrative process less complicated. This practical support sets it apart from many other accommodations in the region.
