Leylaty Hospitality Group has launched a new 8,000-square-metre catering facility in Riyadh, significantly expanding its footprint in Saudi Arabia's capital. The facility, one of the largest of its kind in the Kingdom, is purpose-built to serve events ranging from private dinners to large-scale celebrations, with a focus on premium quality and presentation.

Hashim Al-Attas, CEO of Leylaty Hospitality Group, emphasized the strategic importance of the investment. "Our commitment to this city is absolute: to bring the full Leylaty standard to the capital, with the same precision, care, and culinary excellence expected at the highest level," he said. The facility is equipped with advanced production kitchens and logistics infrastructure, enabling the group to handle complex event catering with consistency.

Aligning with Vision 2030 and Riyadh's Growth

The opening of Leylaty Events Riyadh aligns with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which aims to position Riyadh as a global hub for business and culture. The facility is a direct response to growing demand for premium event hospitality solutions in the capital, particularly as the city prepares to host major international conferences and tourism events. This expansion also complements the broader hospitality ecosystem, including the recent launch of Riyadh Air's ticket sales for five Dreamliner routes and the airline's accelerated London launch, which will drive increased visitor traffic to the city.

Leylaty's new facility is now operational and accepting bookings for events from June 2026 onwards. The group's investment reinforces its leadership in the Saudi hospitality sector and contributes to the Kingdom's economic diversification by enhancing its event hosting capabilities. For travel professionals, this signals a growing capacity for high-end MICE and luxury events in Riyadh, a trend also seen in other regional markets such as five Southeast Asian markets leading hospitality growth through the convergence of luxury, wellness, and business travel.

The facility's scale and technology are designed to meet the needs of international event organizers, including airlines, hotel groups, and tour operators seeking reliable, high-quality catering partners in the region. As Riyadh continues to develop its tourism and business infrastructure, Leylaty's expansion positions it as a key player in the city's event supply chain.
