A few early decisions shape everything that follows, from your guest count and event flow to how formal you want the occasion to feel. Share these details with our team, and we can take it from there.
Choosing the right space for your celebration
The right room depends less on its size than on how you want the evening to unfold.
- For a large seated dinner or a formal reception, the Princess Sayta Ballroom divides into up to three sections and has its own pre-function area, an exclusive VIP room, and a dedicated entrance.
- For a mid-sized gathering, the Al Jawhara Ballroom divides into two and has its own pre-function foyer, which works well for arrivals and welcome refreshments before guests sit down.
- For a smaller, brighter setting, Al Hada looks out over the lobby atrium and has natural daylight.
Walk us through your guest list and we'll match it to the space.

Catering comes from Minhal Gourmet Catering Services, our in-house team, with menus tailored to your event.
- Live cooking stations and handcrafted beverages keep receptions lively and engaging.
