To Whom It May Concern: 11 years after it's Grand Opening, Al Faisaliah Hotel launch it's new "ultra-luxurious" South Wing, consisting of 106 suites and Riyadh's most remarkable Italian Restaurant, La Cucina - To quote the Italian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, La Cucina is, "the only Italian Restaurant in Saudi Arabia!" - The ultimate compliment to the restaurant's Chef de Cuisine, Claudio Melis. Later this year the first "spa for women" in a luxury hotel in Riyadh will be opened to complete Al Faisaliah's South Wing. The product that will have been created reflects the King Faisal Foundation's commitment to developing a remarkable urban resort oasis in the heart of Riyadh's Central Business District. The "life-style" product which Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has created is greatly supported by the outstanding quality & excellence of food & service delivered by Claudio Melis' team at La Cucina. The property's largest suites are equipped with individual kitchens and supported by Master Chefs who can prepare a meals fit for visiting Royalty, business leaders & entertainment personalities. The property's In Room Dining operation sets very high standards and spa cuisine is under development. Claudio Melis' vibrant & engaging personality, his unadulterated & undying commitment to delivering "authentic" italian cuisine served with contemporary style separates his kitchen from any others in the Middle East. Chef Claudio is a remarkable leader, highly committed trainer and a true innovator who understands the meaning of "team work" and the importance of sharing the "limelight" with those around him.
