Swissôtel Makkah is part of the Abraj Al Bait complex, the group of towers directly opposite the King Abdulaziz Gate of the Masjid al-Haram. Like its neighbours, it lets you walk to the Haram for every prayer in a few minutes, with the mall and food court right below the lobby.

It is a popular choice for pilgrims who want the Clock Tower location with a calmer atmosphere. Some rooms have a view of the Haram; standard rooms face the city at a lower price.
