Last month, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts announced a contract with the Tamdeen Group to develop a 261-room Grand Hyatt hotel in Kuwait. Expected to open in 2020, Grand Hyatt Kuwait will be the fifth Grand Hyatt hotel in the GCC, once Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi opens in 2016.
The new-build hotel will be an integral part of 360 MALL, an iconic premier luxury shopping destination in Kuwait. Located seven miles from downtown, Grand Hyatt Kuwait will be within close reach of various embassies, a number of government ministries and the Kuwait International Airport. The hotel, to be designed by RTKL Architects, will offer standard rooms of 40 square metres, four food and beverage outlets, and first class meeting and events facilities. The state-of-the-art facilities on offer at the Grand Hyatt Kuwait will extend beyond the interior of the hotel, as it forms part of 360 MALL’s expansion comprising the new state-of-the-art Sheikh Jaber Al Abdullah Al Jaber Al Sabah Tennis Complex. With the expansion, the mall’s shopping and food and beverages experiences will grow to 120,000 square metres. This leisure complex marks an important milestone in the growth of Kuwait’s luxury market and Hyatt guests will be able to enjoy its facilities, right on their doorstep.
