At VIA Riyadh iconic names intermingle, from the globally renowned St. Regis hotel, to resplendent designers’ brand stores, and from top notch well known restaurants, to the Renaissance cinema that offers lavish levels of comfort and exclusivity.
An architectural masterpiece inspired by the Salmani architecture and urban style, VIA Riyadh was designed to work in perfect harmony with the local identity of the capital, preserving the unique identity of the city.
The ancient stones that formed the famous Tuwaiq mountain in Dhurma ages ago, were professionally extracted to bring them to the present. The area has a significant place in Saudi history since it was the birthplace of the Second Saudi State in the 1820s.
