Jeddah: July 2nd 2011: Shaza Al Madina is the first of an exclusive family of Shaza Hotels to launch in the world. A celebration of the Eastern hospitality and generosity, Shaza Al Madina is a hotel where timeless traditions meet contemporary flair, a destination of refined sophistication, for the discerning traveller. Shaza is supported by its internationally recognised and respected operating partner, Kempinski Hotels. In the Holy City of Al Madinah Al Munawarah, the Shaza Al Madina Hotel sets a new standard in the industry with incomparable levels of hospitality and elegance, where each guest's visit is a pleasure and the suites are the ultimate expression of warmth and hospitality. Shaza Al Madina is a five star expression of modernity, created by the world renowned international designer Morten Hansen of LWD Dubai, who created a blissful mix of traditional and modern Arabian aesthetics.
Peaceful, sophisticated and spiritual, each of the 469 rooms and suites are a reflection of the contemporary Eastern character of Shaza. They are attended to by international staff and meticulously prepared with uncompromising attention to detail that transforms each stay into an unforgettable experience. Shaza Al Madina also has fully equipped conference and banquet facilities in its function rooms, as well as other unique amenities that are being offered for the first time in Al Madinah Al Munawarah, such as a Kids Club and Wellness Centre that will be open by mid 2011.
"Generosity, respect, innovation and authenticity, inspired by the Art of Eastern living are the main attributes at Shaza Al Madina. They can only be achieved through passionate people who directly influence our guests' experience" said Simon Coombs - President & CEO of Shaza Hotels during the opening ceremony.

Shaza Al Madina is the ultimate hotel experience in the Middle East, a modern icon where exclusive Arabian luxury meets state of the art facilities. The hotel is designed to cater to every possible need and transport guests to a place of serenity and luxury, a unique haven for the modern traveller who expects only excellence in service and an exquisite ambience.
-Ends- About Shaza Shaza is the first international five star hotel chain to draw its inspiration and character entirely from the region. It is a proud expression of Eastern hospitality and has its sights firmly established on being a pioneer and leader in the market. Shaza Hotels draws upon Kempinski's long experience in the Middle East during which they have managed some of the most prestigious properties in the region. By 2016, we aim to operate 25 to 30 hotels in key destinations in North Africa and the Middle East, as well as the broader Indian subcontinent including the areas of the former Ottoman Empire.
Of our initial 25 hotels, a select few will form the Shaza Collection. The Collection will feature distinguished properties and prestigious palaces that have a rich history and will, by virtue of the stories attached to them, add depth and meaning to the Shaza brand. Shaza will additionally aim to operate a number of properties in prominent European locations such as London and Geneva with a dense population of feeder markets who originate from within the Shaza belt, adding a truly International flavour to the portfolio.
