“The opening of our first Hampton by Hilton marks a milestone in diversifying our hospitality offerings to customers in Kuwait. Over the years, the region has experienced a surge in demand for high-quality hotels, and we're thrilled to bring the Hampton by Hilton brand here.

Situated on the Kuwait waterfront and Blajat Beach, Hampton by Hilton Kuwait Salmiya is ideally located for guests looking to explore the city and is just a 15-minute drive to The Avenues, Kuwait's largest shopping mall, and the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre. The property is the first-ever in the region to feature an automated car park facility that can accommodate 40 cars at a time.

Pauline Wilson, Vice President, Focused Service Operations, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Hilton, said, “I am delighted to be in Kuwait to celebrate Hampton by Hilton Kuwait Salmiya’s opening alongside Alshaya Group. The opening marks the debut of Hampton by Hilton in the country and brings the brand’s signature features – such as free hot breakfast and exceptionally friendly and authentic service – to Kuwait for the first time.”
