Crowne Plaza Madinah

Crowne Plaza Madinah is a five-star luxury hotel on Sawadah Bint Zimaah Street in Bani Khidrah, near Quba Road, in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It sits about 0.5 km in a straight line from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque), and most guests walk to prayers. The location on the southern side of the mosque district also places the hotel on the route towards the Quba Mosque, the first mosque in Islam, which visitors commonly reach by short taxi ride. The streets around the hotel are less congested than the immediate mosque perimeter, which many travellers find a calmer base while remaining within walking range. As a branch of an international chain, the hotel offers the dependable, business-capable character of a large city hotel, and it serves pilgrims on Umrah, families and corporate guests. Rooms are air-conditioned and the building has lifts. Room types include double or twin rooms, with family rooms and suites listed as options to confirm when booking. Dining is normally built around a restaurant with breakfast service, an important consideration for early risers attending Fajr prayers. Reception is generally staffed around the clock. A pool, spa or fitness centre is not confirmed here, so guests who want those facilities should check the current listing. Service typically covers luggage handling, transport arrangements and local guidance on prayer times and visits. Typical rates run from roughly SAR 450 to SAR 1,500 per room per night in ordinary weeks, which is lower than the hotels directly facing the mosque, though prices rise during Ramadan, the Hajj season and school holidays. This makes the hotel a reasonable compromise for travellers who want five-star standards and a manageable walk without paying the premium of the closest towers. Mount Uhud and the Madinah date markets are reachable by taxi, and organised ziyarah visits are commonly arranged through local operators.
