Le Royal

Kuwait City


This small, tasteful boutique-style hotel, on a slip road off Arabian Gulf St, offers wonderful sea views, a French-rococo foyer and a bright and intimate atmosphere. Rooms have polished floors, floral-design bedsteads, bolster pillows and enormous bathrooms. Guests have access to a gym and a massage service.

There's an atmospheric Middle Eastern seafood restaurant in the basement, with tapestries on the walls and ceilings, plus lots of seafaring memorabilia.
