Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Hotel consulting in Jeddah

Jeddah is the gateway to the Red Sea and to the holy cities, with a historic centre on the UNESCO list. If you have a hotel or a project in the city, we work on what makes it belong to Jeddah and nowhere else.

What Jeddah asks of a hotel.

A port open to the world for centuries, Jeddah combines trade, religious tourism and life by the sea. Guests come for Umrah, for business or for the waterfront, and each expects something different from the same hotel.

Religious tourism

Many guests pass through Jeddah on their way to Makkah and Madinah: short stays, families, precise needs.

Al-Balad

The historic centre, a UNESCO site, asks for properties that respect the place and tell its story.

The waterfront

Leisure demand is growing along the coast, with events and dining.

An international city

A long history of trade and a large foreign community: the service has to speak several languages and cultures.

How we work in Jeddah.

Three ways to work with us, from Milan and on site when it's needed. The price is written down before we start.

  • Profit Performance

    For a hotel that is already open: the distance between what it produces today and what it could produce. It starts with the first free analysis; the diagnostic starts from €1,500.

  • Staff training

    One person at a time, at the property during service or online, on the situations of their own shift. From €275 per person.

  • Feasibility studies

    For a project that doesn't exist yet: whether it earns, and on what conditions, before the money is spent. From the €499 market assessment to the full study.

Questions

Before we start.

How much does it cost to work with DolceVita in Jeddah?

The first analysis is free. For a hotel that is already open, the Profit Performance diagnostic starts from €1,500 and engagements start at €7,500. For a new project, the feasibility study starts with the €499 market assessment. Training inside the hotel starts at €275 per person.

How do you follow a hotel or a project in Jeddah from Milan?

The work is led from Milan, with online sessions on fixed dates and written deliverables. We travel for the steps where being there changes the result: a site visit, a meeting with the owners, a negotiation with an operator. We reply within one business day.

Where do we start?

With the first free analysis: an hour online with a senior consultant, on what you need to decide. If the hotel is open, we look at where it is losing revenue; if the project is still to be built, at which level of study is enough to answer.

For people who work in hotels

Do you work in a hotel in Jeddah?
