AncyrA Rose Hotel by Continent Opens in Medina

With a total of 230 carefully designed standard and suite rooms, the hotel has been designed to accommodate up to 850 visitors and pilgrims. Featuring all modern amenities, the hotel also offers private prayer areas, international and local cuisine options, and systems that allow the front desk to provide fast service in high-capacity group check-ins. AncyrA Rose Hotel by Continent adds a new dimension to the concept of accessible and quality accommodation in one of the holiest cities in the Islamic world.

“Opening this AncyrA hotel in the holy city of Medina is a milestone for us,” said Shady Boueiry , Regional CEO of Continent Worldwide Hotels Middle East. “This hotel not only represents the official launch of our AncyrA Hotels & Inns brand in Saudi Arabia, but also demonstrates our long-term commitment to providing accessible yet elegant accommodation solutions for religious travelers. With this opening, we aim to deliver a Medina experience where comfort, tradition and care are intertwined.”

Ethem Zagikyan, Chairman and General Manager of Continent Worldwide Hotels, said: “We are delighted to see our growth in the Middle East continue steadily. The opening of AncyrA Rose Hotel in Medina not only strengthens our presence in Saudi Arabia, but also supports our vision to grow our quality and value-oriented hospitality concepts in the region. We believe that our AncyrA Hotels & Inns brand will bring a breath of fresh air to the mid-segment hotel market in the Middle East region, offering a warm, culturally connected and guest-focused experience.”

The hotel is being implemented within the scope of the Master Franchise Agreement signed between Continent Worldwide Hotels and Dyafat Al Atheel Company, a leading accommodation company with decades of experience in Hajj and Umrah services in Saudi Arabia. The agreement signed last year aims to open 30 more AncyrA Hotels & Inns hotels across Saudi Arabia by 2030.

With its proximity to the Haram and its guest - centric design, we believe this hotel will play an important role in serving large hajj groups,” said Fuad Al Filali, General Manager of Dyafat Al Atheel Company.
