1. The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh

    Opened in 2011 as a converted royal palace, the Ritz-Carlton sprawls across 52 manicured acres near Riyadh's Diplomatic Quarter, its marble lobby and gold-trimmed interiors designed for dignitaries. The property's ornate grandeur—from arched entryways to crystal chandeliers—feels less like hospitality than coronation theater.
