The Chedi Hegra opened in December 2024 as the first hotel inside Hegra, Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Nabataean city dating to the 1st century BCE. Its 35 rooms were built into the walls of a 1907 Ottoman railway station once used to move Hajj pilgrims between Medina and Damascus, and the station's restored 1906 steam locomotive now sits inside Prima Classe, the hotel's train-themed restaurant, visible through a glass floor above its old maintenance pit.

About The Chedi Hegra
- Hegra is a 1st-century-BCE Nabataean city and Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, sharing its rock-cut tomb facades with Jordan's Petra.
- The hotel's Prima Classe restaurant occupies the restored Hegra railway station, built in 1907 for the Ottoman-era Hejaz line that carried Hajj pilgrims from Damascus to Medina.
- Guest rooms and public spaces were built directly into the station's original structures, using lime-based masonry restoration to keep the historic walls breathable.
- It won Saudi Arabia's Leading New Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards, the year after its December 2024 opening.
