Luxury and culture converge this December 2024 as Assouline proudly announces the grand opening of its latest flagship boutique, restaurant, and piano bar in Riyadh’s prestigious Bujairi Terrace.
This milestone marks a bold step for the renowned luxury publisher, which is debuting its first-ever restaurant. The restaurant will combine culinary artistry with its signature flair for sophistication.
Nestled in one of Diriyah’s most vibrant cultural hubs, Bujairi Terrace, Assouline’s new location is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. The Terrace, celebrated for its fusion of traditional Saudi architecture and contemporary design, offers an open-air ambience and unparalleled views of the historic Diriyah district, making it a fitting backdrop for Assouline’s latest endeavour.
The boutique is a two-story structure bathed in warm ochre tones, seamlessly integrated into the lush, inviting landscape. Outdoor seating surrounded by greenery creates a welcoming atmosphere for visitors, while the building’s understated elegance complements its surroundings.
Inside, the space blends art, literature, and gastronomy. The ground floor features a striking gold zero-proof bar, complete with leather barstools, offering a curated selection of beverages and gourmet small plates. Visitors can enjoy their drinks amidst a serene lounge area showcasing Assouline’s Ultimate Collection and an array of artistic books, library objects, and custom wood-carved finishes.
The space is adorned with magnificent antique library tables and vibrant imagery, creating an atmosphere that celebrates culture and creativity.
The first floor elevates the experience further with an intimate Piano Lounge and restaurant. Live music, plush seating, and mood lighting set the tone for a refined evening. Guests are treated to a menu inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, featuring fresh, high-quality ingredients. The adjacent outdoor terrace invites diners to savour their meals against the picturesque backdrop of Diriyah.
