Saudi king books entire DC Four Seasons hotel for 3
nights ahead of his first White House meeting with
Obama
In anticipation of King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi
Arabia’s stay, the Four Seasons hotel in Georgetown
has done some redecorating, literally rolling out red
carpets in order to accommodate the royal’s
luxurious taste, Kate Bennetts' Politico reports.
Eyewitnesses at the property have seen crates of
gilded furniture and accessories being wheeled into
the posh hotel over the past several days,
culminating in a home-away-from-home fit for the
billionaire Saudi monarch, who is in Washington for
his first White House meeting with President Barack
Obama today.
"Everything is gold,” says one Four Seasons regular,
who spied the deliveries arriving at the hotel. "Gold
mirrors, gold end tables, gold lamps, even gold hat
racks." Red carpets have been laid down in hallways
and even in the lower parking garage, so the king and
his family never have to touch asphalt when
departing their custom Mercedes caravan.
Security is tight as well which is normal for such a
visit, perhaps, but Saudi officials likely remember the
bizarre 2011 bomb plot, linked to Iranian intelligence,
that aimed to blow up then Saudi Ambassador Adel
al-Jubeir, now the foreign minister, at a Georgetown
restaurant.
The guests staying at the 222-room hotel for the next
couple of days are all part of the 79-year-old king’s
entourage of Saudi diplomats, family members and
assistants, one source said; a full buyout of the entire
property was reserved for the visit. Guests who had
booked to stay at the Four Seasons during the royal
visit have apparently been moved to other luxury
hotels in town.
A call to the Four Seasons confirmed the hotel is sold
out Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. King
Salman, who ascended the throne in January, has a
habit of displacing commoners for his own comforts;
this summer, during a sojourn to the French Riviera,
his eight-day stay forced the closure of a popular
beach, enraging locals. Salman rolls deep, with a
reported 1,000-person delegation joining him for his seaside August vacation. Wall St. Journal reporter
Carol Lee snapped this photograph of Salman's
entourage arriving at Andrews Air Force Base on
Thursday: Saudis seem to have enough vehicles for
King Salman's visit - the car fleet parked at Joint Base
Andrews.
At the Four Seasons on Thursday morning, the
Washington “power breakfast” crowd didn’t seem to
mind being displaced from their regular dining spot
at the hotel’s lower-level Seasons restaurant to the
main floor’s Bourbon Steak, a move made to
accommodate the king. Foreign dignitaries and royals
often choose to stay at the Four Seasons, as much for
the hotel’s proximity to the White House, State
Department and Embassy Row as for its 4,000-
square-foot Royal Suite, equipped with private
elevator and bulletproof windows for privacy and
security.
Last month, the hotel, which opened in 1979,
embarked on a $13 million renovation, redecorating
the rooms, adding more art and committing to a
guest experience that focuses on the best night’s
sleep.
A press release cited new options for maximizing the
sleep experience, including a new sleep-aid menu
with “scented pillow oils,” “calming bath melts,” pre-
selected mattress toppers in firm or plush, and
custom pillow choices, which include a water-filled
option. A representative for the Four Seasons
declined to comment for this story.
