History
The Regency Hotel Kuwait rose from a dream conceived in the late 1970s by Abdul Razzak Al Sane, who set out to build a hotel delivering unrivalled luxury on the shores of the Arabian Gulf. It opened its doors in 1981 and quickly became an iconic landmark on the Kuwait City skyline in the Salmiya district.
The hotel suffered a catastrophic blow when it was destroyed during the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Against the odds the dream was rebuilt, and in 2009 The Regency was revived with a comprehensive new incarnation that continues to build on its history. Today the five-star beachfront hotel offers 203 rooms plus 50 signature suites, a private beach, and multiple poolside bars.
