01 April 2016

Leading architectural and engineering practice SSH has won a major contract from Tamouh National General Trading & Contracting for a new four-star hotel coming up in the governorate of Hawally in Kuwait.

Under the deal, SSH will be the lead consultant for all the design phases and permitting, starting from data collection and concept design phase through to tender documents and services for the high-rise project.

The complex, which is estimated to tower 110 m in height on completion, will also have three basement car-parking floors.

The hotel will include a lobby, reception and spa, and 31 above-ground floors, 22 of which are hotel guest areas with five hotel rooms per floor and a luxury floor that will host two large guest suites.

In addition to 122 hotel rooms, it will also contain two specialty restaurants, retail shops, children’s play area, gym, all-day dining facility, terrace, and administrative offices and facilities such as meeting rooms, laundry areas and a central kitchen.

The complex will be located on a 6,494-sq-m area on the corner of Al Mutasim and 110 Street, close to Kuwait’s Gulf Road.

SSH has extensive hospitality experience, blending architectural traditions and innovative designs to create landmark destinations.

Its major projects in the region include the Radisson SAS Hotel upgrade in Kuwait, Ras Al Barr Resort in Bahrain, and the World Architecture Festival award-winner Junoot Eco Resort in Oman.
