Grand Hyatt Kuwait

Grand Hyatt Kuwait tells the tale of an ancient culture and modern interior design with influences from the Arabian sea and infusions of Islamic geometry

Taking inspiration from waves, dhows and the mashrabiya, Grand Hyatt Kuwait pays homage to the country’s iconic location and traditions, while presenting contemporary aesthetics to the world. As it gears up for a fall opening, the hotel unveils the details of its magnificent interior design, curated by Meyer Davis.

Situated at the tip of the Arabian Gulf, Kuwait owns a rich history for being well known as an oasis of peace and a prosperous maritime port city. This, along with the country’s legacy of sailing, dhow- building and pearl diving, inspired the narrative of exploration and opulence within Grand Hyatt Kuwait.

Large-scale artworks were commissioned specifically to fit the theme at Grand Hyatt Kuwait. In some cases, Meyer Davis started with the artwork, and built the interior design around a certain piece. The ultimate effect is one that offers visitors a chance to experience and engage with some remarkable pieces in a way that could be more intimate than at a museum or gallery setting.

302 Rooms with 302 Works of Art

Each one of the hotel’s 302 guest rooms features a large-scale artwork by Tracie Cheng, whose abstract images of soft flowing lines harken to the billowing sails of traditional dhows that sailed across the waters of the Gulf.

Grand Hyatt Kuwait’s gracious rooms feature signature wooden parquet flooring, book-matched marble in the restrooms, floor to ceiling windows, and thoughtfully planned dressing spaces. Sensibly integrated lighting infuses warmth and drama. Custom-forged geometric screens cast shadows at each guestroom entry, giving a subtle nod to the traditional Mashrabiya, a motif that is repeated throughout the architecture of the building.

An urban sanctuary Spa

The tranquil Noor spa and indoor pool is worthy of its own narrative and dialogue. While the design is undoubtedly modern, abstract, and fascinating, it boasts an ancient panache. The design of circular symmetry that contain different spa programs whispers privacy and exclusivity.

Through the use of spherical architecture, the flow accentuates the indoor and outdoor spaces as elements that draw upon the positivity that is created by different forms of sunlight, shadows and soft edges. Noor spa was created with an inviting sense of mindfulness and serenity resulting in an urban sanctuary that stands as an oasis removed from the everyday.
