“Grand Hyatt Kuwait offers global travelers superior hospitality
services against a backdrop of majestic architectural design
coupled with world-class culinary, leisure and entertainment
experiences under one roof; a truly distinctive proposition,” said
Federico Mantoani, general manager at Grand Hyatt Kuwait. “We are
thrilled to open the first Grand Hyatt hotel in Kuwait, and we look
forward to welcoming guests seeking a memorable experience from
this magnificent destination.”
Grand Hyatt Kuwait represents a new era of progression and

guests and locals a superlative selection of world-class culinary
and leisure experiences the hotel features four unique restaurants,
a fitness center, a premium spa and a variety of elegant event
spaces.
Prime Location
In addition to being centrally situated in the heart of the 360
Mall extension, the hotel also conveniently connects to one of the
country’s premier event venues, The Arena Kuwait, which features
38,750 square feet (3,600 square meters) of state-of-the-art indoor
multifunctional spaces. Situated adjacent to the Rafa Nadal Academy
Kuwait, owned by the Sheikh Jaber Al-Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah
International Tennis Complex, the hotel welcomes guests to a world
of entertainment in a one-of-a-kind setting.
Guestrooms
The property features 302 contemporary guestrooms and suites,
including 192 Grand Rooms, 47 Grand Club Rooms, 34 Grand Club
Suites with breathtaking views, 23 guestrooms and suites uniquely
designed with private landscaped garden terraces, and eight Junior
Suites. Grand Hyatt Kuwait’s elegantly designed rooms feature
signature wooden parquet flooring, large-scale contemporary
artwork, marble in the restrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and
thoughtfully planned dressing spaces.
The luxurious and expansive 2,798-square-foot (260-square-meter)
Presidential Suite, with private elevator access, provides
guests with an exclusive arrival experience. Located on the highest
floor, the lavish suite offers extraordinary views of the Kuwait
skyline with two bedrooms and three ultra-spacious living
areas.
Design
Inspired by the country’s legacy of sailing, dhow building and
pearl diving, Grand Hyatt Kuwait pays homage to the country’s
iconic location and traditions, while presenting contemporary
aesthetics to create a captivating setting for guests. The hotel
seeks to set itself apart through its meticulously designed
touchpoints and immersive spaces, such as the lobby which invites
guests into a captivating space upon arrival. The perimeter of the
lobby is swathed in weightless white drapery, while the center of
the lobby is anchored by a serene marble water-like feature holding
a majestic equine sculpture at the center. The plush interior of
the lobby lounge is accentuated by wall panels clad in white
geometric patterns, while orbital shapes in the form of an
oversized mobile sculpture rounds off the double volume aesthetics.
Through a bespoke collection of luxury furnishings, a distinguished
feeling of grandeur is established across every touchpoint of the
guest experience.
Dining
Grand Hyatt Kuwait is well positioned as a culinary destination
in itself, housing an eclectic array of gastronomic concepts and
featuring a selection of contemporary Arabian, European and
Asian-infused cuisines.
- Liberté, a modern brasserie rooted in classicism, but
reimagined through innovation; where the food is ingeniously
brought to life through culinary creativity and conveyed with a
sense of fresh and spirited feminine energy.
- ’Stambul, a Turkish lifestyle-dining venue celebrating
the famed influences of Ottoman cuisine, where classic dishes are
reinterpreted and delivered spontaneously and theatrically.
- MEI LI, a fine dining Pan-Asian restaurant where the
food provides the narrative for an explorative journey through the
Imperial Palaces of old Beijing, serving Far Eastern recipes
inspired by the most popular dishes served over centuries.
- Saheel Lounge, a distinctive lobby lounge ideal for
socializing in a casual yet refined setting. A tone-setting
experience enriched with breathtaking works of art.
Meetings
Grand Hyatt Kuwait encapsulates several elegant and timeless
multi-faceted event venues, each dynamically configured to make
every occasion an unforgettable one – as exceptional as the
location itself. The hotel boasts 30,000 square feet (2,800 square
meters) of meeting space across eight venues, including a striking
Grand Ballroom designed for weddings, conferences, grand
galas and cocktail receptions, with a hosting capacity of up to
1,560 guests. A team of talented event planners and banqueting
services are available to assist with every bespoke occasion.
Wellbeing
The tranquil Noor Spa is curated as a journey of rejuvenating
therapies and treatments that embody a sense of mindfulness and
self-awareness. Offering a luxurious and relaxed setting with six
treatment rooms, Noor Spa treats guests to indulgent skincare and
body treatments, with well-known revitalizing products from
Barcelona and Paris.
