m

Anoud Tower (Arabic: ) is a skyscraper in the al-Olaya district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It was completed in 2005. At 155 m high, it is a major commercial building on King Fahd road. It contains 20 floors with 3 basement levels. A twin tower is being completed alongside it. The tower is named after Princess Al Anoud bint Abdul Aziz bin Mousaed al-Saud, the wife of King Fahd bin Abdulaziz and is moderated by several Saudi Arabian companies including Alinma Bank Head Office & Novotel Hotels. The building design is based on a swordfish. The tower includes exhibition spaces covering 1,200 square meters (13,000 square feet), office spaces totaling 15,000 square meters (160,000 square feet), 300 parking spaces, and sixteen elevators.

In 2015, the France-based hospitality group Accor opened its fifth hotel in Riyadh, housed within Al Anoud Tower, under the Novotel brand. The four-star hotel features 135 rooms and 32 suites, a health club covering over 1,000 square meters (11,000 square feet), a main ballroom of the same size that can accommodate more than 400 guests, and a variety of meeting rooms.
