The Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya hosted its grand opening ceremony on November 6, 2017.
His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah was the guest of honour at the event. Four Seasons founder and chairman Isadore Sharp, and the operator's president and CEO J. Allen Smith were in attendance, along with the hotel's owner Mohammed Alshaya, executive chairman of the Alshaya Group of companies.
"We are honoured to welcome His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah to the grand opening celebrations of Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya, and extend our deepest gratitude for his gracious presence," said Smith.
