There will also be a gym and pool, with public memberships available, along with a selection of food and beverage outlets. Construction is expected to begin in 2026.
Located close to King Salman Park, Cheval Maison – Sulaymaniyah will join Cheval Collection’s growing Middle East portfolio, which currently comprises Cheval Maison – The Palm Dubai, which opened in 2023, Cheval Maison – Expo City Dubai, which opened in March this year, and Cheval Ladun Living – also owned by Ladun Investment Company – which is under construction and slated to open in 2027.

Their decision to collaborate with us on a second property is a testament to the strength of our brands internationally and the dedication of our team.
“We continue to witness rising demand for serviced apartments across Saudi Arabia, and this agreement highlights the advantages of working with a company that brings decades of proven expertise in both operations and ownership. We understand the mindset of owners and are able to deliver the flexibility that they need.
“Saudi Arabia is experiencing remarkable growth, and we are proud to support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 strategy, which includes promoting progress through tourism and real estate. We share its fundamental values of creative innovation, and sustainability,”added Alawadhi.
Dr. Hassan Al Hazmi, Chief Executive Officer, Ladun Investment Company, said: “Ladun Investment is committed to creating pioneering real estate and hospitality projects that enhance quality of life and enrich the hospitality experience in Riyadh.

Cheval Maison – Sulaymaniyah will join all other Cheval Collection properties in Cheval DISCOVERY loyalty programme in partnership with the Global Hotel Alliance, rewarding guests and helping the group to continue to hone its offering.
