Supporting Saudi Vision 2030: Elevators in Hotels for Local Hotel Development

Release time : December 28 2025

How Coloria is Empowering Saudi Arabia's Hospitality Growth Through Integrated Building Solutions

As the sun rises over Riyadh's skyline, cranes dot the horizon—each one a symbol of Saudi Arabia's ambitious leap toward Vision 2030 . At the heart of this transformation lies the hospitality sector: a key driver aiming to welcome 100 million annual visitors by 2030, doubling the number of hotels and resorts across the kingdom. But behind every world-class hotel, from Jeddah's coastal retreats to AlUla's heritage resorts, lies a critical question: How do we build spaces that blend luxury, efficiency, and local pride? For Coloria, a trusted saudi arabia building materials supplier with decades of roots in the Middle East, the answer begins with understanding that buildings are more than structures—they're stories of progress.

Vision 2030: Where Hospitality Meets National Ambition

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 isn't just a blueprint for economic diversification; it's a promise to create jobs, preserve culture, and lead in sustainable development. For the hotel industry, this means more than just building rooms. It means creating destinations that reflect Saudi heritage while meeting global standards. Imagine stepping into a newly opened hotel in NEOM: the lobby's grand chandelier, the seamless flow of guests, the quiet efficiency of elevators whisking visitors to their floors—every detail contributes to a first impression that lasts. But behind these moments are countless decisions: choosing the right materials, ensuring reliability, and aligning with local goals like localization and sustainability .

"Hotels are the face of our nation to the world," says a Riyadh-based hospitality developer. "We don't just need suppliers—we need partners who understand our vision for 2030. Someone who can deliver quality without compromise, and grow with us as we expand."

Coloria: More Than a Supplier—A Partner in Progress

For over 30 years, Coloria has stood alongside builders, architects, and developers in the Middle East. With a local presence in Saudi Arabia and a global network spanning continents, we've earned our reputation as a one-stop architectural solution provider by listening first, then delivering. When it comes to hotels, we know that every product—from the elevator doors to the kitchen appliances—plays a role in guest satisfaction. That's why we don't just sell elevators; we offer a holistic approach to hotel development.

Take elevators, for example. In a busy hotel, a slow or unreliable elevator can turn a 5-star experience into a 3-star review. Our elevators are engineered for the demands of hospitality: high-speed operation (up to 2.5 m/s) to reduce wait times, whisper-quiet motors for guest comfort, and smart dispatching systems that adapt to peak check-in/check-out hours. But what truly sets us apart? We don't stop at elevators. Need kitchen appliances for the hotel's signature restaurant? Custom furniture for suites? Energy-efficient lighting for public spaces? We've got it all—under one roof.

Elevators: The Unsung Heroes of Hotel Luxury

Think about your last hotel stay. Did you notice the elevator? You probably did if it was slow, crowded, or outdated. But when an elevator works flawlessly—arriving within 30 seconds, gliding smoothly, with intuitive controls—it fades into the background, letting you focus on what matters: your stay. For hotel owners, that's the goal: elevators that enhance the guest experience without drawing attention to themselves.

Our hotel elevators are designed with this philosophy in mind. Features like:

Intelligent Group Control : Senses passenger traffic patterns (e.g., morning breakfast rush) and adjusts elevator routes to minimize wait times.
Emergency Backup Systems : Ensures operation during power outages, critical for guest safety and compliance with Saudi safety regulations.
Customizable Interiors : From marble paneling to branded lighting, elevators that match the hotel's design aesthetic—because even functional spaces deserve to be beautiful.

"We recently completed a project with a luxury hotel in Makkah," shares our regional project manager. "Their biggest concern was handling peak pilgrim seasons, where elevator usage spikes by 300%. Our solution? A combination of high-capacity elevators (up to 26 passengers) and predictive maintenance—we monitor performance in real time, so issues are fixed before they affect guests. The result? Zero downtime during their busiest months."

Beyond Elevators: The Power of One-Stop Procurement

Hotel development is a puzzle with hundreds of pieces. Coordinating with multiple suppliers for elevators, lighting, kitchen appliances, and furniture can lead to delays, miscommunication, and increased costs. That's why Coloria's whole-house customization approach is a game-changer for hotel projects. Instead of juggling 10 suppliers, you work with one team—our team—from concept to completion.

Traditional Procurement vs. Coloria's One-Stop Solution
Aspect	Traditional Multi-Supplier Approach	Coloria One-Stop Solution
Supplier Coordination	Manage 8-12 separate suppliers; risk of misaligned timelines	Single point of contact; unified project timeline
Cost Control	Hidden fees (shipping, installation, warranties); higher overhead	Transparent pricing; bulk discounts; no surprise costs
Quality Assurance	Inconsistent standards across products; varying warranty terms	Uniform quality checks; 5-year warranty on all major products
After-Sales Support	Multiple service teams; delayed responses	24/7 local support team; one call resolves any issue

Consider a mid-sized hotel project in Dammam. The developer initially planned to source elevators from one company, kitchen appliances from another, and lighting from a third. After consulting Coloria, they switched to our one-stop model and saved 15% on total procurement costs—plus, the project was delivered 2 months ahead of schedule. "We used to spend 40% of our time coordinating suppliers," the developer notes. "With Coloria, we focus on what we do best: creating exceptional guest experiences."

Building for Saudi, by Saudi: Localization & Sustainability

Saudi Vision 2030 isn't just about growth—it's about inclusive growth. That's why Coloria is committed to supporting localization and sustainability in every project. We invest in training Saudi talent, with over 70% of our local team being Saudi nationals. Our Riyadh-based training center offers courses in elevator maintenance, project management, and sustainable construction—empowering young Saudis to build careers in the industry.

On the sustainability front, we're proud to offer a range of green building materials that align with Saudi's "Net Zero by 2060" goals. Our elevators, for example, use regenerative drives that feed energy back into the grid during descent—reducing a hotel's carbon footprint by up to 20%. We also source eco-friendly materials for furniture and fixtures, like bamboo charcoal board wall panels (low formaldehyde emissions) and energy-efficient LED lighting (cuts electricity use by 50% compared to traditional bulbs).

"Sustainability isn't a trend for us—it's a responsibility," says our sustainability director. "When a hotel chooses Coloria, they're not just building for today; they're building for a future where Saudi Arabia leads in green hospitality."

From Vision to Reality: Success Stories

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our partners say:

"We partnered with Coloria for our new hotel in Jeddah, and the difference was night and day. Their team handled everything—from elevators to kitchen appliances—with such professionalism. When we needed to adjust our order mid-project (adding more elevators due to design changes), they accommodated us without delays. Today, our hotel has a 92% guest satisfaction rate, and we know Coloria's products are a big reason why."

— General Manager, 5-Star Hotel Chain, Jeddah

"As a Saudi developer, supporting Vision 2030 means investing in local talent. Coloria's commitment to training Saudi engineers and technicians aligned perfectly with our values. Their elevators are top-notch, but what impressed us most was their dedication to our community. We're already planning our next project with them."

Building the Future, Together

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is more than a plan—it's a journey. A journey that requires collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to excellence. At Coloria, we're honored to be part of this journey, supporting hotel developers as they create spaces that welcome the world. Whether it's through our reliable elevators, our comprehensive product range, or our dedication to localization and sustainability, we're here to turn your vision into reality.

So, to all the dreamers building Saudi's hospitality future: Let's build something extraordinary—together. Because when we work as one, there's no limit to what we can achieve by 2030.
