M Hotel Al Dana Makkah by Millennium

M Hotel Al Dana Makkah by Millennium stands on Prince Majid Ibn Abdulaziz Road in the Al Rawdah district of northern Al Aziziyah, part of Millennium's M Hotel sub-brand, with 611 rooms and suites across 13 floors. According to some listings, the hotel opened in 2016. It sits about 3.0 km from the Grand Mosque, with Bab Al Salam on the northern side toward the Masaa as its nearest gate. Since it is not within walking distance, the hotel runs a complimentary round-trip shuttle to the Haram, though some guests note they occasionally had to switch buses depending on timing. Set on one of Makkah's main roads, it suits pilgrims who prefer to stay away from the crowds immediately around the Haram while keeping it within easy reach by shuttle.

Rooms are individually furnished with premium bedding and a pillow menu, and every room has tea and coffee facilities, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a work desk, complimentary toiletries and bathrobes, making for a comfortable stay for pilgrims and families alike. For dining, Al Dana Restaurant overlooks Prince Majid Street and serves Arabic and international dishes, buffet-style and a la carte, at breakfast, lunch and dinner, while Al Yasmine Restaurant offers local and Arabic dishes for guests who want something different without leaving the hotel. Room service is available for those who prefer to eat in their room, and the concierge can help with day-to-day requests and questions. Breakfast is served as a buffet from 6:30 to 10:30 AM at an extra charge that is not included in the room rate.

Families are well served by a dedicated kids' club, while a business center, meeting rooms and a ballroom make the hotel a suitable choice for guests combining a Haram visit with an event or business meeting. Additional services include currency exchange, luggage storage, taxi booking, dry cleaning and laundry, a fitness center and private parking, backed by a 24-hour front desk. Like all hotels in Makkah, the property is entirely alcohol-free, and it is non-smoking throughout with designated outdoor smoking areas only. Worth noting: the hotel has no swimming pool, and reaching the Haram means taking the shuttle rather than walking, a point to weigh for pilgrims who prefer to stay within walking distance of the mosque.
