IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has signed a partnership deal with Saudi-based real estate group Koushan for the development of two new hotels – the 330-key Kimpton and 255-room Even – at King Abdullah Sports City (KASC) in Jeddah. The new properties are set to open in 2028.

King Abdullah Sports City is a landmark district surrounding the stadium that will host the 2034 FIFA World Cup,

Spanning 16,000 sq m area, the project will feature a dedicated fan zone, health and fitness clubs, swimming pools, international restaurants, retail outlets, athlete-specific facilities, and conference and event halls.

 According to IHG, the dual-branded development brings together Kimpton, IHG’s boutique luxury lifestyle brand, and Even Hotels, IHG’s premium lifestyle wellness-focused brands, to King Abdullah Sports City. Together, they will cater to a wide spectrum of guests, from international sports fans and athletes to wellness-conscious travellers and high-end business guests, while enhancing the Kingdom’s hospitality offering in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

 Strategically located in northern Jeddah, both hotels offer seamless access to major infrastructure, including the stadium, retail and leisure zones, as well as King Abdulaziz International Airport. This prime location ensures a dynamic, connected, and lifestyle-forward experience for all visitor segments.
