When you think of some of the most fabulous hotels in Kuwait, the Four Seasons Hotel at Burj Alshaya is usually top of mind. We love that place and the hotel has definitely raised the bar high for luxury and the art of hospitality. The establishment has won the Forbes Five-Star Award for both its Hotel and Spa operations for the second consecutive year. This marks a significant milestone as the first property in Kuwait to bring the coveted international Forbes recognition.
The Forbes rating, a hallmark of excellence in the hospitality industry, is awarded based on an assessment by anonymous inspectors against 900 objective criteria, emphasizing an outstanding guest experience and a highly customized level of service with sustainability at its core. The Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya’s commitment to these values is evident in every facet of its operation, from its pioneering approach to five-star hospitality to its dedication to responsible luxury.
General Manager Martin Kipping reflects on this achievement with pride, noting, “It is truly an honor to be at the helm of a Hotel that is pioneering such a unique, forward-looking approach to five-star hospitality in the Arabian Gulf.” This sentiment is a reflection of the hotel’s commitment to creating a legacy of luxury and wellbeing, with responsible hospitality at its heart.
We are especially fond of the hotel’s approach to sustainability which is both innovative and inspiring, featuring an onsite water processing and bottling plant, complimentary vehicle e-charging stations, and waste-management and recycling practices. These initiatives, along with plastic-free guest rooms and the championing of local products, demonstrate a profound respect for the natural environment.
The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait is a realm of relaxation and rejuvenation, offering cutting-edge therapies and ecological products amidst opulent surroundings. From the palatial Moroccan hammam to the grand pool with majestic views of Kuwait, every detail is designed to provide a sanctuary for the senses. We love to unwind here!
Dining at the hotel is an experience in itself, with the rooftop restaurants’ four-elements design motif capturing the imagination. The green living wall, outside terrace, and the water-themed Asian eatery Sintoho contrast beautifully with the fire-inspired modern Italian restaurant, Dai Forni, complete with its gleaming copper wood-fired ovens.
The hotel’s commitment to luxury extends to its art and design, featuring interiors by Yabu Pushelberg and architecture by Gensler, adorned with one-of-a-kind local artworks and installations. The “Stairway to Heaven,” an illuminated 43-foot spiral staircase, is just one example of the hotel’s dedication to creating an environment where art and luxury converge.
