Hotel - Riyadh
by zuhur about Intercontinental Riyadh
Very comfortable hotel. I really liked the fact that there was separate small office area in the room - set up for modem and fax; and there's a 24 hour business office.
Nice restaurant (good Lebanese-style food) and also a coffee area where one can meet with people and have fairly private conversations. The only downside - has to do with the restrictions on women - there is a pool, and exercise room - but when I visited, no women were allowed to use them, so I can't comment. There is also a golf course - and the card in my room read that ladies were not welcome, sorry; but someone told me that she had used the facility.
My suggestion to the hotel would be to set up
at least a small exercise room for women-only.
Only other quibble was that it was very busy in the evening and took a bit of time to check out.
Hotel is rated 4 star - not sure what the normal rate is; quite affordable for me - thanks to all.

As we all know this country is a very conservative one...not unless male Vt member would want to have a Vt meet and that would be fine but for us female Vt members residing here in RIyadh..it is impossible to arrange a vt meet and the venue is a public place like a cafe (as you suggested)
Maybe...other vt members would gladly arrange it in their homes ;-) (which i think another impossible thing to happen)
