Featuring 316 rooms and suites, 80 residential suites and 12 villas, the Jumeirah Messilah was designed by New York based architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Water is a recurring theme throughout the property, with water features in the lobby connecting to streams and fountains in the garden. 

 

Gerald Lawless, president and chief executive of the Jumeirah group, said: "We are proud to be bringing our brand to Kuwait and believe that the quality of the hotel and the services delivered will offer the people of Kuwait and visitors from around the world a true taste of Jumeirah’s unique brand of hospitality.”

The spa also has a salt room, using blocks from the Himalayas, hydrotherapy baths, a steam room, a fitness studio and personal trainer services.
