Art+Tech hotel wow critics in Kuwait

Design Manager Claire Craig says that the 'Art+Tech' inspired interiors, 're-write the book on how a hotel should look and feel. Everything in it is hip, fresh and exciting. The emphasis is on making a statement, standing out from the crowd'. The interiors boast many cutting edge features; including plasma screen TVs, custom-designed beds and state of the art bathroom equipment. The overall 'feel' is cool, chic and contemporary.

Le Meridien's Art+tech brand was first showcased in rooms and suites in several of their London hotels and is aimed at the business traveller with an eye for style. wa international have taken that idea a stage further and branding the entire hotel 'Art+Tech', creating a unique environment which sets new standards of design innovation and customer care for the industry.

The hotel is owned by the A'amal Hotels Company and is based in the business district of Kuwait City. It is the first in the region to be branded in the Art+tech style and its blend of cutting edge technology with comfort and luxury is ideally suited to the needs of the international traveller. Other examples of the style can be seen in Vienna, Turin, Minneapolis and Hamburg.

The Le Meridien Tower is just one of a number of project in the pipeline from wa international for Le Meridien. Others include the Le Meridien Karachi Airport and Le Meridien Kuwait. wa international General Manager Mark Young says, 'We have worked with Le Meridien and many other operating companies and owners for a number of years now. Their main concern, after quality, is of course return on investment. We know that our design schemes can give them that by maximising customer appeal. It also shows that, by creating effective environments, interior design can be an investment, not a cost'.
