HOTEL SUMMARY
Where Old World elegance meets contemporary Kuwaiti sophistication, Waldorf Astoria Kuwait emerges as the nation's most prestigious luxury hotel, seamlessly blending the brand's legendary art deco heritage with over 5,000 pieces of locally-sourced and international artwork that celebrate Kuwait's rich cultural narrative.
Opened in August 2022 as Hilton's landmark debut in Kuwait, this architectural masterpiece by LW Design Group transforms 200 meticulously appointed accommodations into a sensory journey through Kuwaiti heritage. The hotel's design narrative draws inspiration from the solar system's significance in Islamic culture, crowned by a reimagined Waldorf Astoria clock that serves as both cultural compass and gathering place. Golden steel panels shaped into Islamic-inspired patterns flow throughout the grand marble lobby, while the sophisticated palette of blue, gold, and black pays homage to Kuwait's sea, sand, and oil—the elements that define this desert nation.
Accommodations range from deluxe rooms to expansive suites measuring nearly 3,800 square feet, each radiating opulence through custom-made leather trunks, gold fixtures, and artwork inspired by sand dunes. Agate and marble bathrooms complement 65-inch televisions, Bentley hair dryers, and Bose speakers, while pillow menus ensure personalized comfort. The Waldorf Astoria Kuwait suites offer panoramic views of Kuwait City's skyline, with furnished apartments featuring kitchenettes designed for extended luxury stays.
Dining experiences elevate the senses across signature venues including Peacock Alley, the New York-style café serving the hotel's famous afternoon tea with edible gold-dusted pastries, and Roka, Kuwait's most authentic Japanese restaurant featuring fresh sashimi and innovative fusion creations. Ava intertwines Italian, Middle Eastern, and French flavors in its Mediterranean menu, renowned for wood-fired pizzas and the city's finest eggs Benedict, while Oxio provides poolside Levantine cuisine surrounded by palm trees and cabanas.
The 1,259-square-meter Waldorf Astoria Spa defines wellness luxury with Amra gold, diamond, and pearl facials, hammam sessions, and hydrotherapy treatments. A temperature-controlled swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, and 1,000-square-meter ballroom complete the premium amenities, while direct connection to The Avenues—Kuwait's largest retail and entertainment destination—provides access to over 1,000 stores and cultural attractions.
