Recognised by more than two billion Muslims worldwide, The Clock Towers complex in Makkah stands as one of Saudi Arabia’s most iconic landmark destinations.
Located just steps from Al Masjid Al Haram and set against the backdrop of the world’s tallest clock tower, the complex brings together four landmark hotels across three globally renowned brands – Makkah Clock Royal Tower, A Fairmont Hotel; Raffles Makkah Palace; Swissôtel Makkah; and Swissôtel Al Maqam Makkah. Together, the portfolio comprises more than 5,000 keys and welcomes millions of pilgrims and visitors each year.
As the market leader in Makkah and Accor’s highest revenue-generating hotel complex globally, The Clock Towers continues to set benchmarks in one of the world’s most operationally demanding hospitality environments.
Each hotel within the portfolio also ranks among the top revenue performers within its respective brand worldwide, underscoring the scale and consistency of its commercial performance. At the portfolio’s Town Hall 2025, managing director Salem Al Shahrani outlined a multi-year transformation journey that has strengthened operating standards and delivered record results, while setting out an ambitious roadmap for the next three years.
Industry recognition followed in 2025. Makkah Clock Royal Tower, A Fairmont Hotel was named Leading Luxury Hotel at the Hotel & Catering Leaders in Hospitality Awards, Raffles Makkah Palace received World’s Leading Luxury Halal Hotel at the World Travel Awards and Best All Suites Luxury Hotel at the LUXE Global Awards, and Swissôtel Makkah earned Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Award.
