Dar Tantora The House Hotel

Dar Tantora The House Hotel, a heritage hotel in AlUla's Old Town

Dar Tantora The House Hotel is a heritage property located in AlUla's Old Town, Saudi Arabia. It occupies a collection of 30 restored dars —traditional mudbrick houses— some of which date back around 900 years, according to guest reviews published on the site. The project blends traditional architecture with modern design and presents itself as an immersive experience in AlUla's history and culture.

Accommodation in 30 historic dars

The hotel spreads its accommodation across 30 unique dars, each with its own story within the old mudbrick village. The concept seeks a balance between comfort and sustainability, with butler service available 24/7. The experience is described as personalized and tailored to each guest.

Sustainable design and nighttime ambiance

The hotel's design is intended to minimize environmental impact through natural ventilation systems and candlelit illumination. One guest review mentions that electricity usage is limited to around 20%, and that the rooms are naturally ventilated. At night, candlelight creates a serene and romantic ambiance.

Personalized experiences from the moment of booking

The stay is conceived as a tailor-made journey that begins the moment you book. Options described include a vintage car ride, a first glimpse of AlUla by golf cart, choosing a personalized scent for your dar, and an in-room vinyl selection based on the guest's musical tastes.

Dining, wellness, and surroundings

The hotel has a restaurant, identified in reviews as Khantous, which serves breakfast and dinner with local cuisine dishes. It also has a pool area and a spa. The offering is rounded out with wellness experiences, a market, exclusive events, and activities in the surrounding area, such as festivals and local events. The site includes a collaboration with EÉRA Capsule Collection.

Service and guest reviews

Published reviews highlight the staff's attentiveness, from reception to the butler and valet team, as well as the attention to detail. Several guests describe the experience as exceptional and mention the restoration of the property, the ambiance, and the cuisine. One review notes that the spa did not live up to the price, while others rate it as one of the best massage experiences. The hotel presents itself as a place to celebrate special occasions, such as anniversaries.
