KUWAIT MARINA HOTEL

Kuwait Marina Hotel is located at the Marina in Salmiyah, Kuwait across from the Marina Mall linked by a bridge to the marina area restaurants and cafes. It was built as a phase of the Kuwait Waterfront redevelopment program which has seen tremendous improvements to the public spaces available along the entire beachfront of the city. The site was scheduled to have a weddings centre, marina facilities, conference facilities and chalets, however these were combined in the design to make a very popular beachfront hotel, projecting into the sea with its own swimming pools and spa facilities, and a masted weddings facility in the bay. The hotel rooms are on three floors, all facing the sea and surrounding a raised public area of entrance and restaurant. The lower public level is backed up by a kitchen and laundry, a spa and marina facilities and there is a later addition of decked parking to support the site. The hotel is run by Safir group. The guest rooms have an angular positioned bed facing the balconied sea view, with a sail shaped ceiling. The guest bathrooms have a separate shower and bath, blue glass basins and a ceiling feature that glows as a nightlight. The main restaurant sits in the courtyard between rooms, enclosed as an atrium , with a speciality restaurant overlooking the marina and bay at the entrance level. A large aquarium tank is a backdrop to the reception as a continuation of the seaside theme.
