Alshaya Group announced plans to bring the Canopy by Hilton hotel brand to Kuwait. Canopy by Hilton Kuwait will be located on Arabian Gulf Street in the popular Bneid Al-Gar area. The project is expected to open late 2022.

Canopy by Hilton is an upper-upscale lifestyle hotel brand. “Canopy by Hilton responds to a growing customer preference for upscale hotels that fit authentically into local neighborhoods and cultures,” said Rudi Jagersbacher, Hilton President Middle East, Africa and Turkey. “We can tick all the boxes with our plans to bring the brand to Kuwait – with a great location in a great neighborhood, and a trusted partner in Alshaya Group.”

The announcement further strengthens the choice of Hilton brands that Alshaya Group will offer to customers through a growing partnership with Hilton. Alshaya recently announced a master development agreement to bring 70 Hampton by Hilton hotels to its operating markets in MENA, Turkey and Russia. Kuwait’s first Hampton by Hilton, located in Salmiya, is expected to open in late 2021.
