25hours Hotel and Working From_ to reinvent living in Heart of Khobar, Saudi Arabia

25hours Hotel Heart of Khobar, set to open in 2028, will be a cultural and urban hub that brings Khobar living to life. Ennismore’s coworking brand, Working From_, will also enter the Kingdom for the first time with a 2000 sqm workspace.

25hours Hotel will be part of a new authentic, mixed-use development, Heart of Khobar, and will bring its individuality, quirkiness and elaborate personality, acting as a catalyst of culture in the neighbourhood.

25hours Hotel Heart of Khobar will feature 170 guestrooms and suites, as well as 80 serviced apartments for extended stays. Embracing the brand’s “you know one, you know none” motto, 25hours Hotel Heart of Khobar is individually curated – original art, quirky props, and curated objects are layered with the brand’s signature humour and attention to detail to tell a unique story. There will be a kaleidoscope of services on offer, from multiple restaurants, pool and gym – as well as unique and innovative surprises guests are used to experiencing at a 25hours Hotel. More is more at 25hours, where guests can take a journey back in time with the “analogue circus” to discover the fascinating wonder of all things analogue, from typewriters to polaroids and VHS tapes to vinyl, delivered to their room.

As part of the development, Ennismore & Tilal will also bring Ennismore’s co-working brand, Working From_, to the Kingdom for the first time. The 2,000 sqm workspace will include various desk spaces and offices set around homey kitchen pantries and will offer different types of memberships. Working From_ member perks include free access to meeting rooms, free printing, lunch desk delivery, and access to hotel perks, including special room rates and F&B discounts.

Part of a well-integrated mixed-use master plan currently in development with WATG London, the new 25hours Hotel is located in the Heart of Al Khobar, adjacent to most landmarks in the city. Through synergies across the residential, commercial, hospitality and retail components, the development will have a distinctive sense of place, with a sense of community proliferating the sidewalks. Bustling with busy students and young entrepreneurs enjoying the Khobar cityscape, residents and visitors alike can enjoy shops and public areas within walking distance of the hotel. Located in the Arabian Gulf, Khobar is one of the triplet cities of the Dammam Metropolitan Area; the city connects Saudi Arabia with Bahrain through a 25-kilometre-long bridge across the sea, making it a high-footfall city with developed infrastructure. 25hours’ strategic location within Khobar will provide high connectivity and accessibility to major city areas near Khobar Corniche and the waterfront.
