Overview

Set in the UNESCO-designated site of Hegra, this one-of-a-kind luxury boutique hotel integrates ancient structures with contemporary design, art-driven spaces and world-class facilities. The luxury 35-room hotel occupies several 16 existing structures, including an old railway station, Hegra Fort, and other surrounding buildings. Original structural and exterior walls, some built from mud brick, have been carefully preserved and integrated into the hotel’s modern architecture. The vast majority of the UNESCO World Heritage Site will remain untouched by construction. Each of the hotel’s three restaurants will offer a unique dining experience for guests and others visitors to Hegra. One inside the former railway station will feature an exhibition of preserved artefacts, including a fully-restored Ottoman-era train. Guests will soon also be able to enjoy full-service spa facilities and a swimming pool. An overhead art canopy inspired by wind and natural light also elegantly connect much of the space throughout, one of several stunning artworks.

An ode to a historic railway platform

Built out of the remnants of the Hegra Train station

The Chedi Hegra places the historic railway at the heart of its experience, celebrating its significance in connecting cultures and history. Guests can explore the restored tracks and station, dine in Prima Classe, and admire the 1906 locomotive—meticulously restored to reflect its former glory. As a symbol of Hegra's role along the Incense Road and its 20th-century legacy, the railway seamlessly integrates into the hotel's architecture, creating a profound connection to AlUla's rich past.
