The St Regis Kuwait
Kuwait Hotel

Set in the Qibla district near Kuwait City’s cultural heart, The St. Regis Kuwait blends Middle Eastern elegance with modern luxury. Reopened in 2022 following a major transformation, the former Sheraton has been reborn with a quieter opulence—marble-lined interiors, mashrabiya motifs, and polished service that rarely misses a beat.

The hotel’s grand lobby is the first hint of the atmosphere within. High ceilings, gilded accents, and curated artworks set a composed tone. From there, 135 rooms and suites spread across several categories—each dressed in deep navy and champagne hues, with leather furnishings, blackout drapes, and generous marble bathrooms. Many rooms look out toward the city, and some higher-floor suites catch glimpses of the bay.

Though refined in feel, the experience is far from static. On the rooftop, Bukhara offers Indian clay oven cuisine with open-air views and ambient lighting. Downstairs, guests can opt for Mediterranean, Italian, or Lebanese fare, or simply linger in the English Tea Lounge, where afternoon service comes with silver trays and classic pastries. The St. Regis Bar, true to the brand, serves up signature Bloody Marys alongside curated spirits.

The mood remains hushed throughout, even in shared spaces. The outdoor pool is bordered by palms and sleek loungers, tended by lifeguards and serviced by attendants. Inside, amenities include a fitness studio, meeting spaces, and 24-hour butler service. Concierge support is available for everything from museum reservations to arranging desert excursions beyond the city limits.

Whether staying for business or passing through en route to the Gulf, the service here rarely draws attention to itself—but it’s never far behind. Every detail, from the welcome trays to in-room tech, is designed to work without fuss.
