Lohha | لوحة nestled among the sandstone formations of Alula at golden hour

Alula, Saudi Arabia

Living
in art.

Twenty rooms. Twenty Saudi artists. A boutique hotel where every room is a work of art.

We asked twenty artists a single question: What does it mean to live inside your work? Their answers became the walls, the light, the silence, and the view.

At Lohha, art is not hung on a wall and walked past. It surrounds you while you sleep, greets you when you wake, and becomes part of your stay.

The rooms

A QR in every room

Scan it and let your room tell its story: who the artist is, what they have created before, and how this space came to be.

Two rooms from the collection. Each one is a complete world, designed to be lived in.

Basma Alsuliman

Woven | 260

A warm, layered space where art, texture, and craftsmanship come together.

Dana Awartani

Orientalism | 261

A room covered in patterns inspired by traditional Saudi garments and the historic Al-Qatt Al-Asiri art form.

Eighteen more rooms, each with its own artist and its own story.
