Connected to the Avenues Mall, and a 15-minute drive from Kuwait International Airport, the property offers convenient access to the Kuwait Opera House, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre and the Grand Mosque.
Waldorf Astoria Kuwait houses 200 guestrooms and suites with views of the city skyline. The interiors of Waldorf Astoria Kuwait include traditional brand elements such as the Waldorf Astoria Clock, which was adapted to reflect Kuwait’s cultural heritage. Signature personal concierge service is also available to all guests, while the Waldorf Astoria Kids’ Club is open to families.

Waldorf Astoria Kuwait offers a range of dining options. Opening this autumn is ROKA, the Japanese robatayaki restaurant. This cuisine concept originates from Japan’s northern coastal waters where the fishermen would cook fish on boats with different charcoals and share the food with one another using their oars.
AVA, the signature restaurant, showcases flavors from across the French Riviera, the south of Italy and the Greek islands. Guests can choose from sharing items like wood-fired pizzas, appetizers and salads, grills and desserts. The Parisian-influenced Peacock Alley offers specialty coffees and fresh meals, chocolates, macaroons and afternoon tea.
OXIO Pool and Lounge offers signature salads, sandwiches and homemade gelatos during the daytime hours. At night, the venue transforms into Kubbar Poolside Restaurant, named after Kuwait’s Kober Island, and offers Levant cuisine.
Launching later this fall, the 13,560-square-foot Waldorf Astoria Spa will unveil the Private Suite, complete with an arrival lounge, bathroom, steam room hammam, jacuzzi and double treatment zone. The 24-hour Technogym-equipped Fitness Centre includes a Fitness Studio offering a range of workout sessions.
