The Best Hotels Near Arabella Beach Hotel Kuwait, Vignette Collection by IHG, by the Record
-
A private beach on the Arabian Gulf, right where Kuwait City's shoreline starts to feel deliberate. This design-forward hotel has 195 rooms with sea-facing balconies and coastal textures that stop short of theme-park nautical. The palm-lined pool and spa are here, but so are 35-plus restaurants and boutiques from the Arabella Complex next door, which means you can linger by the water or wander without committing to either.

A bronze equine sculpture greets arrivals at this large city hotel attached to the 360 Mall complex, which sets the tone for interiors designed by Meyer Davis, rooms in soft palettes with locally crafted details, and public spaces that double as gallery walls for regional artists. Some rooms open onto private garden terraces. A full spa, several restaurants, and a lounge are on site, with an arena and tennis stadiums a short walk away.
-
Herringbone oak floors and soft grey upholstery give the 313 rooms and 73 suites a quietly understated feel, which is a considered choice in a city that rarely underplays anything. This is a large, full-service luxury hotel that has been around since Kuwait's first wave of internationally managed properties, though a recent top-to-bottom renovation means it wears its history lightly. The Liberation Tower is a ten-minute walk, and several dining options are on-site.
