JW Marriott Hotel
Salhia signed an agreement with Marriott International Inc. in 2002 to assume management of Salhia’s landmark 5-star hotel in downtown Kuwait under the JW Marriott brand. Previously, Le Meridien had held the management contract from its opening in 1981. This property is a premiere 16-storey hotel with 73 suites, 313 rooms, outstanding conference and meeting facilities, and five superb restaurants. After many years of refurbishment and modernization investments, the hotel is now widely recognised as one of the finest in the Middle East, and a standard setter for opulence and luxury throughout Marriott’s global network especially after winning “Best Business Hotel” by Business Traveller Magazine for continous years.
The JW Marriott has always enjoyed the highest occupancy rates, thanks largely to its reputation for consummate professionalism, service and security amongst international dignitaries and other VIP visitors. Kuwait’s buoyant economy and its strategic position within the dynamic GCC region have also served as a draw to high-level businessmen that rely on the hotel for comfort, efficiency and the latest in-room technology to support their work visits.
The magnificent lobby of the hotel is one of the most acclaimed interior designs in the country, and sophisticated technology allows staff to serve guests effectively and unobtrusively. Meanwhile, the hotel’s ballrooms, conference facilities, health and beauty services and other attractions also meet the diverse needs of Kuwait’s own business, official and diplomatic community with an unmatched level of professionalism and service.
