The Regency Kuwait

The five-story, 203-room Regency Kuwait fronts the Persian Gulf in Salmiya, a major cultural and commercial district in the eponymous capital city of Kuwait. In 2013, the World Travel Awards named it the nation's leading luxury hotel—and also its leading hotel for meetings.

Groups convene in a freestanding conference center equipped with the latest technology, ergonomic furnishings, and 86,000 square feet of pillarless exhibition space, four multipurpose ballrooms, and ten smaller rooms. Between sessions, attendees can take full advantage of the new fitness center on the main building's top floor, the hotel's two secluded beaches, five fresh-water pools, and a wide choice of food and beverage offerings, from in-room dining to refreshments at the beaches, pools, lobby, gourmet shop, and Ladies' Lounge to international cuisine at the restaurant Silk Road and Italian at Balsamico.
