Within this atmosphere, Accor’s hotels in Makkah create environments that honour the sanctity and spirituality of Ramadan. From Raffles Makkah Palace and Fairmont Makkah Clock Royal Tower to Swissôtel Al Maqam and Pullman ZamZam Makkah, each property expresses its own interpretation of hospitality.
During the holy month, dining venues across Accor’s hotels are transformed into spaces of shared joy, bringing the Arabic greeting “Ramadan Kareem” –which means “Generous Ramadan” – to life. This expression reflects the spirit of the month, a time of generosity and sharing with care and gratitude. Guests can expect iftar and suhoor menus designed to nourish the body and elevate the spirit, with traditional dishes and regional flavours in mind.
The experience of iftar at Makkah is distinctive. The anticipation before the Maghrib call to prayer, the sight of families and travellers gathering in quiet preparation, and the collective gratitude that follows the first sip of water all combine to create a moment of profound connection.
At Raffles Makkah Palace, guests are invited to break their fast while overlooking the Haram. The hotel’s culinary teams curate iftar offerings that celebrate the elegant heritage of Arabian cuisine. The meal begins with customary dates and laban, followed by soul-soothing soups, mezze, and beautifully prepared mains highlighting premium ingredients and refined presentation.
Makkah Clock Royal Tower, a Fairmont Hotel, is an architectural icon within the Abraj Al Bait complex and it offers one of the city’s most impressive Ramadan settings. Guests enjoy panoramic dining views where iftar spreads merge regional authenticity with global flair. Every element is thoughtfully curated.
At Swissôtel Al Maqam and Pullman ZamZam Makkah, nourishment, comfort, and accessibility define the iftar experience. With direct links to the Haram, guests move effortlessly between prayers and meals, enjoying carefully curated buffets featuring a balance of international favourites and Middle Eastern classics. Lentil soup, freshly grilled meats, and traditional Arabic sweets are served alongside lighter, wholesome dishes designed to restore energy after a day of fasting. Here, culinary excellence is quietly balanced with the humility and gratitude that define Ramadan itself.
