History
The InterContinental Taif opened in 1977 as the Massarah InterContinental, becoming IHG's first hotel in the Saudi mountain resort city of Taif. Set in the cool highlands that have long served as the Kingdom's summer capital, the property was designed with interiors by the noted hospitality designer Neal Prince, who worked extensively across the InterContinental portfolio.
The resort comprises roughly 205 rooms together with a cluster of private villas, and underwent a significant renovation in the early 1990s. It was later rebranded simply as the InterContinental Taif while retaining its role as one of the city's landmark hotels.
