When temperatures in Riyadh reach a whopping 45 C on the daily, nothing beats the heat better than a refreshing pool day.
If you are new to Riyadh or living in an apartment, finding an affordable option to lounge around a pool can be a challenge — or even require a direct invitation if you are looking to access one in a compound.
Located in Riyadh’s culturally vibrant Diplomatic Quarter, the Marriott Hotel allows access to non-residents for a fee of SR200 ($53.29) during weekdays and SR250 at weekends.
The space offers sunbeds, towels, access to changing rooms, and spa/gym facilities like the sauna. Dipping into the pool after some time in Riyadh’s hot sun will make you feel like you have taken a mini vacation during the busy work week.
The staff are extremely friendly and cater to your every need.
