About the project
Designed by Yabu Pushelberg and contracted to Havelock Interiors, the Four Seasons Hotel in Kuwait features an extravagant, modern design, in keeping with the brand.The sleek, avant-garde address is a polished centrepiece of the city: one of the most striking hotels in the world, with a distinctly modern vision of Middle Eastern design, and houses two of the three featured restaurants by Kokaistudios. Lighting throughout is custom designed, and most public areas display pieces from the hotel’s incomparable collection of contemporary art with works of many mediums from international artists that make guests stop in their tracks. Havelock Interiors created all decorative glass, metal and stone works, as well as the central counter, bench seating, and The Coffee Suite by Starbucks.
The hotel comprises one of two towers within the Burj Alshaya complex, a new mixed-use development. The hotel’s modern glass exterior is laid out with mashrabiya latticework and wooden, rhombus-shaped shading fins, both of which give it a distinctive Middle Eastern appeal and help with climatic performance in the desert heat.
The 284 guest rooms and suites are explicitly chic and contemporary, schemed in soft shades of indigo, burnt orange and grey, along with detailed custom furnishings for relaxation or productivity. From the entrance, guests follow a short millwork-lined corridor into the main interior. Flashes of bold colour complement neutral furnishings while sculptural, framed design elements are softened by curvilinear furnishings. Beds are framed with up-lit, indigo glass decorated with a dissolving motif, and burnt orange lacquer panels define the entry niche, pantry and stationary wall. Custom furniture with wood, bronze and dark grey lacquer elements were designed exclusively for the Hotel. Additional bespoke details include hand-laid mini herringbone oak floors, topped with a modernised flat-woven rug in the sleeping area. Generously-sized bathrooms feature an oval tub, separate rain shower, twin vanity sinks framed by mosaic tile, richly veined marble, and TV and lighting integrated within the mirror. Layered, framed mirrors with integrated lighting complete the bespoke look.
