Leylaty Group

What Leylaty Group does

Leylaty Group (legal name: Leylaty Hospitality Group) is a privately held, family-owned Saudi hospitality company headquartered in Jeddah, founded in 1948 by Hussein Hashim Al Attas as the Al Attas Group and rebranded to Leylaty in 2025. The company operates across four interlocking verticals: luxury event venues (two flagship Jeddah ballrooms — Ballroom 01 at 2,240 sqm for 1,200 guests and Ballroom 02 at 3,800 sqm for 1,500 guests — plus the seasonal Al Mirkaz Ramadan venue), a portfolio of six restaurant concepts (Toki Chinese fine dining, Kuuru Nikkei, Lola French brasserie, KO Asian Kitchen, YU by Toki, and Sweets by Leylaty patisserie), in-house and off-site catering (Leylaty Catering and the upcoming Avala Catering in Riyadh), and a Special Projects division that delivers large-scale F&B and event logistics for national events such as Formula 1, MDLBeast Soundstorm, and Saudi Seasons activations.

The underlying operational technology consists of physical venue infrastructure, a 3,000 sqm purpose-built kitchen complex supporting plated dinners and refined buffets at scale, and proprietary event coordination capabilities including cultural configuration (separate men's and women's sections, bridal/groom suites, VIP lounges). The Special Projects division, established in 2019, provides large-scale deployment capability. The company is currently building a purpose-built Leylaty Events facility in Riyadh launching April 2026 with 8,000-guest capacity, alongside the Avala Catering brand and the Leylaty Rewards loyalty programme.

Leylaty's business model is predominantly transactional one-time event and dining revenue, supplemented by professional-services-style project contracts for Special Projects. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales with dedicated event coordinators handling corporate, government, and high-net-worth individual bookings via direct inquiry, supported by brand-driven organic social and content marketing. Customer segments are vertically diversified — weddings and private celebrations, corporate and business events, government and royal functions, walk-in fine-dining guests, and large-scale national event platforms — across Jeddah and Riyadh, with expansion plans into hotels under a separate development division.
