Jumeirah Jabal Omar Makkah

A luxury hotel spread across four towers a short walk from the Great Mosque, with rooms and suites arranged so that many look directly onto the Haram. Private terraces let guests step outside for prayer without leaving the floor. The design mixes contemporary lines with traditional Islamic motifs, and the restaurants cover a wide sweep from Middle Eastern to Indo-Pakistani. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
