Hakkasan Riyadh

Tao Hospitality’s renowned brand Hakkasan landed in KSA to deliver high-end Chinese dining near the UNESCO heritage site at Diriyah Gate, inspired by Najdi architecture. The project features indoor and outdoor areas, including a VIP rooftop experience with views over the heritage site. The main challenge was integrating the Cantonese-inspired interior design with the architectural Najdi style. The careful use of scale across the different layers provided the right balance, delighting guests while respecting the vernacular architectural language.
