The Hotel was fashioned by top-flight international design talent: architecture by Gensler of San Francisco; interiors by Yabu Pushelberg of New York; and two of three featured restaurants by Kokaistudios of Shanghai. Lighting throughout is custom designed, and most public areas display pieces from the Hotel’s incomparable collection of contemporary art with works of many mediums from international artists that make guests stop in their tracks. Noted Glenn Pushelberg, of Yabu Pushelberg: “Our aim was to create a sense of wonderment in Kuwait; to surprise and delight guests. . There is a distinct connection to place within the design vocabulary, however, even though the context is from within the Middle East, visitors are transported beyond the boundaries of Kuwait.” Materials, a sense of texture, patterning and colours in particular are all informed by the intensity of the desert and the local climate, playing with the contrast between daytime heat and cool nights.” Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait is in one of two towers within the Burj Alshaya complex, a new mixed-use development created around a regional architectural tradition. The Hotel’s modern glass exterior is laid out with mashrabiya latticework, an Arabic pattern dating from the Middle Ages, and wooden rhombus-shaped shading fins that, together, give it a distinctive appearance while heightening climatic performance in the desert heat. Rising 21 storeys, the property presents a spacious setting for international travellers and locals alike, with 284 guest rooms including 67 suites, multiple restaurants and lounges, nearly 3,000 square metres (31,000 square feet) of function space, a luxury spa with indoor pool and guests-only fitness centre, an outdoor pool, as well as renowned Four Seasons service. “Many Kuwaitis are familiar with Four Seasons, having stayed with us on their travels. Now there is a Four Seasons hotel right in their backyard, and with its design, architecture and artwork it’s like no other hotel in the world,” says Didier Jardin, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait. “The beauty and stylishness that guests experience through every corner of the property truly set this Hotel apart.”
Additional Information
Up on the rooftop of Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait, with a green living wall (earth) and terrace (wind) separating the fashionable pan-Asian restaurant Sintoho (water) from the immaculate Italian offering Dai Forni (fire). Laid out before a wall of windows overlooking the city skyline, Sintoho (from Singapore-Tokyo-Hong Kong) features seven live cooking stations, including two teppanyaki stations, a robata grill, a sushi bar, a dim sum station and a live teaology counter. The theme at Dai Forni is fire. Playing off the lush greenery of the living wall, design details create an air of avant-garde modernity with distinctive flaming lantern installations, a lava wall of stone from Italy cut into different shapes to create a lava-like elevation, and three rose-gold wood-burning ovens with logs at the ready for chefs to transform highest-quality ingredients into exceptional pizza and other authentic Italian comfort foods in full view of guests. Down on the 4th floor, the Hotel’s all-day, market-style restaurant Elements is designed with live stations for food-pantry presentation of international and traditional cuisines. Also on the 4th floor, Al Bandar is a resort-style lounge serving lunch next to the Hotel’s outdoor pool. Guests can relax and unwind in one of five air-conditioned cabanas or on comfortable lounge chairs during the day, and enjoy a welcoming lounge-like vibe with music and lights into the night. Calming, restrained and ethereal, the Spa and its indoor pool are grounded in sculptural refinement. The Spa offers 10 private treatment rooms intimately curated with soft, residential quality furnishings and finishes and outfitted with windows to let the sun shine in and blackout blinds for soothing privacy and calm. Individual changing rooms for women and men are each arrayed with a sauna, steam room and whirlpool. Within adjacent fitness centres – one for women only, the other mixed – the architecture of the Hotel’s indoor swimming pool is based on a modern colonnade, with the pool running down the middle.
