Hilton and Al-Rai Real Estate Co – owned by Mabanee Co – has announced it will develop two Hilton properties in Kuwait – the Conrad Hotels & Resorts and the Hilton Garden Inn.
Scheduled to open in early 2019, the development forms part of an expansion project which will see almost US $1billion invested in The Avenues Mall in Kuwait City.
Hilton Worldwide president, Middle East, Africa & Turkey Rudi Jagersbacher said: “We’re delighted to be working with Al-Rai as part of the fourth phase expansion of The Avenues. With its number of shopping outlets set to increase by nearly 50%, demand for accommodation at a site which already attracts millions of visitors every year is set to increase substantially.”
He added: “Our Conrad and Hilton Garden Inn brands will enable us to cater for guests seeking either smart luxury or affordable accommodations during their stay.”
Both hotels will be managed by Hilton Worldwide and will be located on opposite sides of the mall. The complex itself is located off Kuwait’s fifth ring road (now named Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Road) allowing ease of access to junctions connecting to both Kuwait International Airport and Kuwait City.
The Conrad Kuwait will have 158-guestrooms and will form part of the extension of the Mall’s ‘Prestige’ district, which opened in 2012.
The district forms Kuwait’s largest luxury shopping destination, home to 47 luxury retail units under a 23 metre dome.
The hotel will feature a ballroom, multiple dining options, and an outdoor pool and spa.
The hotel’s design concept will complement the Prestige district’s use of copper and rare 'Portoro' stone, imported from the mountains of Italy.
