Waldorf Astoria Kuwait opens, making it Hilton’s third property in the country

Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of Waldorf Astoria Kuwait in the heart of Kuwait City.

Connected to The Avenues, the country’s largest retail, entertainment, and luxury lifestyle destination, and just 11 kilometres and a 15-minute drive from Kuwait International Airport, the property’s prime location offers guests convenient access to attractions such as the Kuwait Opera House, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre and the Grand Mosque.

Waldorf Astoria Kuwait features 200 contemporary deluxe rooms and suites with panoramic views of the vibrant city skyline.

“We are very excited to be expanding our portfolio in Kuwait to include the iconic Waldorf Astoria, which brings an elevated luxury guest experience to the country,” said Jochem-Jan Sleiffer, President, Middle East, Africa and Türkiye, Hilton. “Waldorf Astoria Kuwait is Hilton’s third property in the country and brings a trusted brand to a community of discerning travellers who expect the highest levels of service. We look forward to welcoming guests to this outstanding property, which will no doubt be one of Kuwait’s most prestigious landmarks.”

Luxury experience
Waldorf Astoria Kuwait’s interiors reflect a grand yet intimate environment, with traditional brand elements such as the iconic Waldorf Astoria Clock, which was adapted to reflect Kuwait’s cultural heritage and The Library and Peacock Alley.

From artistic masterpieces inspired by the legacy of Kuwait, plush fabrics, marble accents and beautiful colours, to the stunning sculptural staircase that serves as the lobby centrepiece, each design element has been meticulously curated at the hotel.

Culinary offerings
In tune with its legacy of food and beverage excellence, Waldorf Astoria Kuwait offers a diverse range of dining options, from fine dining and romantic cabana dinners to poolside refreshments, including ROKA, the award-winning Japanese robatayaki restaurant, the property’s signature restaurant, AVA; and the Parisian-influenced Peacock Alley, a venue for both sophisticated and informal gatherings.

Launching later this fall, the expansive 13,560 square feet Waldorf Astoria Spa will feature an arrival lounge, well-appointed bathroom, steam room hammam, jacuzzi and double treatment zone.

Waldorf Astoria Kuwait is owned by Mabanee, a leading real estate developer known for its modern vision and excellence in innovation projects. The property joins two Hilton properties currently operating in Kuwait, Hilton Kuwait Resort and Hilton Garden Inn Kuwait.
