Meyer Davis Designs Grand Hyatt Kuwait

The soon-to-open hotel boasts an artful aesthetic that honors the nation’s maritime legacies

Ahead of opening this fall, Grand Hyatt Kuwait has revealed its elegant interior design by Meyer Davis. The New York-based firm’s concept translates inspiration from the sea, dhows, and the mashrabiya through a contemporary lens. Located at the tip of the Arabian Gulf, the forthcoming property embodies a narrative defined by exploration and opulence reflective of the nation’s sailing and pearl diving legacies.

“The goal to convey an authentic pride-of-place through design. There is a cultural steadfastness in Kuwait that has created a commitment to preserving and honoring the nation’s history,” Meyer Davis says. “At the same time, there is an openness to modernization. We felt it was crucial that the design, craft, and storytelling on display at Grand Hyatt Kuwait was reflective of that great sense of national pride.”

A dramatic lobby welcomes guest with a palpable sophistication conveyed via weightless white drapery lining the perimeter as well as an equine marble sculpture positioned at the heart of the lounge. White geometric patterns adorn the wall panels, while orbital shapes compose an oversized mobile sculpture that accents the grandeur of the plush setting.

The tranquil Noor spa and indoor pool serves as a soothing point of respite complete with a circular symmetry that accentuates a natural flow between indoor and outdoor areas. More than 30,000 square feet of meeting and event space is also housed onsite, including a showstopping atrium in the events foyer that echoes the white geometric motif. A cushy boardroom and fully equipped executive office are both adorned with fluted lacquer doors, vertical paneling, and sturdy geometric that speaks to the strong cultural aesthetic.

Similar accents define the bridal suite, one of 302 accommodations that each feature a distinctive abstract artwork by Tracie Cheng inspired by traditional dhows and the waters of the Gulf. Wooden parquet floors span guestrooms, which are outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows and sensible, warm lighting as well. Custom-forged geometric screens cast shadows upon each entry space as a subtle nod to traditional mashrabiyas.
