Emaar Royal Hotel

  • Price$$
  • CategoryMid Range

Emaar Royal Hotel is a mid-range hotel on King Faisal Road, at the Abi Dhar al-Ghafari Street corner, in the Bada'ah area of Markazia, central Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It is about 710 m in a straight line from Masjid an-Nabawi, one of the more distant options within the walkable ring, so guests should plan on a somewhat longer walk to prayers than at hotels beside the plaza. The route is slowest at prayer times, when crowds fill the approach streets.

The route is slowest at prayer times, when crowds fill the approach streets.

The Emaar name is shared by several hotels in the Madinah central area, which cater largely to pilgrims and visiting families. Listings give about 300 rooms for this property, with sound-proofed windows and many city-view rooms. Sound-proofing is a practical benefit on a busy road such as King Faisal Road, where traffic noise and crowds peak around prayers. Room types include double or twin rooms, family rooms and suites, all air-conditioned and lift-served, with availability of specific types to be confirmed at booking.

Dining details are not firmly documented. Guests should confirm with the hotel whether breakfast is included and which food outlets operate on site; the surrounding Bada'ah streets have numerous restaurants and cafes serving Arabian, South Asian and Turkish food. No spa or pool is listed.

Service character is practical and pilgrim-focused, a mid-priced option for families and groups that prefer a lower rate in exchange for a slightly longer walk. Typical rates run from roughly SAR 340 to 825 (about $90-220) per room per night in October 2026 listings, with Ramadan, Hajj and school-holiday prices far higher. Hotel stays are open to all visitors with a valid visa, while the mosque precinct is restricted to Muslims.
