Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, February 17th 2026  – Sofitel Riyadh Hotel & Convention Centre invites guests to embrace the spirit of Ramadan with a refined and immersive Iftar experience at its newly opened destination. From beginning of the Holy month of Ramadan , evenings unfold in an atmosphere where Saudi heritage meets contemporary sophistication, offering an elegant celebration of the Holy Month. This Ramadan, Sofitel Riyadh invites guests to discover three thoughtfully curated experiences—an opulent Iftar at the Layali Sofitel Tent, an intimate Suhoor at Thuraya Lebanese Restaurant, and a bespoke Ramadan Room Offer—each designed to honour cherished cultural traditions while reflecting Sofitel’s signature French-inspired art de vivre.

Layali Sofitel, the Ramadan Iftar tent at Sofitel, is inspired by the traditional Saudi Majlis and reinterpreted through a contemporary and sophisticated lens. The elegant setting blends cultural authenticity with Sofitel’s refined French touch, featuring Arabic arches, geometric patterns, warm ambient lighting, layered ceiling drapery, sculptural Ramadan centrepieces, and an earthy desert-toned palette to create a welcoming and immersive atmosphere. A central buffet theatre, Majlis-style seating, and a family-friendly layout with a dedicated children’s play area ensure a thoughtful experience for guests of all ages.

Available daily from sunset until 9:00 PM at the Princess Nouf Bint Abdulaziz Grand Hall, the Iftar showcases a lavish international buffet with approximately 10 live cooking stations offering flavours from around the world, including Saudi, seafood, Lebanese, Italian, Indian, and more. A dedicated Kunafa station and an extensive selection of traditional Ramadan desserts complete the culinary journey.

Designed as an immersive dining experience rooted in cultural storytelling, Layali Sofitel delivers an elegant Ramadan atmosphere paired with premium hospitality and a warm, family-oriented environment. The Iftar is priced at SAR 475 per person with special rates available for group bookings. For a more exclusive experience, the VIP Lounge offers a private seating area, Ramadan juices, and mezza served directly on the table for SAR 575.Children below 6 years dine complimentary, while children aged 6 to 12 receive a 50% discount.

Offering three distinct ways to experience the Holy Month—through Iftar, Suhoor, or an overnight stay—Sofitel Riyadh Hotel & Convention Centre invites guests to celebrate Ramadan with cultural authenticity, refined elegance, and heartfelt hospitality.
