Kuwait City / Accommodation / Business


 

The new JW Marriott has taken over the site of the former Le Meridien Kuwait, right in the middle of the business and financial area, and succeeded in winning the Business Traveller Hotel of the year award for 2004. Rooms and suites have all been refurbished with many technical extras. The Executive Club floor is on a par with the best, while the Japanese restaurant Kei is particularly popular for business lunches. The hotel offers 10 meeting rooms for up to 1,500 people. There is a health club, indoor pool, Jacuzzi and steam bath.

 

This five-star beach-front hotel offers adequate business facilities, with meeting rooms for up to 200 attendees. It is only 15 minutes from the city centre and 12 minutes from the airport. Guestrooms are either Oriental or Nordic and all have internet access via interactive TV. The hotel has two authentic dhows in dry dock in the grounds: Al Hashemi, the biggest dhow in the world, with a reception capacity of 1,000 persons, and Al Boom, now a successful steak and seafood restaurant. Water sports and a recreation club (including a private beach) make the place popular with visitors and European residents. It offers 12 meeting rooms for up to 650.

 

Close to the Kuwait Towers, three minutes from the business district and 15 minutes from the airport, Safir International is perfectly positioned. Banquet halls and the two dedicated executive floors with butler service present great locations to entertain and be entertained with anything up to 700 persons. Be sure to ask for a room with a balcony and Gulf view—and don’t miss out on the takeaway patisserie.

 

While this Sheraton is handy for the business and financial districts as a leading conference venue, it also has all the luxuries of a top-notch traditional hotel. All guestrooms are fully equipped for business guests, while the almost ostentatious five floors of St Regis Tower rooms deliver such executive glitz as a Jacuzzi, butler service and Louis XIV furniture. Dining options range from Iranian to classic English tea. The roof-top Bukhara restaurant serves classy Indian meals with a great view over the city. The hotel offers meeting rooms for up to 2,000 and has a health club, golf simulator and squash facilities.
