About the location:
A resort-like sanctuary in Kuwait’s heart. Discover a modern urban sanctuary in the heart of Kuwait City: a contemporary curation of Middle Eastern architecture, dazzling art and resort-like spaciousness, where striking sculptures seamlessly merge with traditional design. In this enclave of wonder – the first and only hotel in Kuwait to receive the prestigious Forbes Five-Star rating – you’ll find soaring rooftop restaurants, leisure facilities and the city’s largest guest rooms. Catch up with friends in the chic surrounds of Al Soor (known as La Chocolaterie of Kuwait), relax in air-conditioned cabanas by the infinity pool, ascend to a buzzing rooftop and wander the lush adjacent parkland. And with the city’s malls and souks within a few minutes’ drive, you can experience all the spoils of the city without spoiling your precious relaxation time.
