The Symphony Style Hotel to host Kuwait Times’ students’ art competition
The Symphony Style Hotel - committed to a clean and green environment - will host the awards night of Kuwait Times’ students’ art competition. Students and parents who will be attending the awards night will be treated to the best of the hotel’s hospitality. Peter Schuler, Symphony General Manager, said the company believes in giving back to the community. “We like the concept and idea of the clean and green painting competition. We believe that as a hospitality industry member, we want you to know that we are responsible business owners. We think of people, we think of community and we think of the planet we live in. Small changes start always with small actions. This is a great opportunity to showcase the best of our hotel’s hospitality, services and products,” he said.
According to Schuler, the hotel promotes and offers a green, clean and safe environment. “We are a ‘GreenKey’ certified hotel,” he said. “In the hotel itself, our visitors can enjoy an indoor garden with food and coffee. The place is very serene and relaxing,” he said.
Symphony Hotel is proud of its various Responsible Business initiatives. “For RB alone, we have a dedicated team of 15 employees to carry out the plans and programs in various areas. We organize beach cleanup activities, tree planting and switching off electricity during the annual Earth Hour. We also have green patrols to save water and energy consumption. We distribute sprout pencils in guest suites to encourage people to patronize a greener environment. We also replaced the straws in the hotel with paper straws during April in celebration of the Earth Day 2018.
The hotel enjoys a 77-80 percent occupancy rate and is fortunate to be located in the best spot in Kuwait. “Symphony Style Hotel Kuwait is designed to reflect a distinctive character of local culture and this is what makes us unique in our offerings,” he said. On expansion plans, the general manager said the hotel wants to focus more on development to stay ahead of its competitors. “We have various strengths the hotel is unique. We are proud to say that Symphony Hotel is located in one of the best locations that a hotel in Kuwait can have. All the rooms of Symphony Hotel enjoy a sea view, which is unique to us only,” Schuler said.
“We are enhancing our services and have upgraded most of our products and services to make every moment matter and leave an exceptional impact on our guests - this is our aim and objective. We lately introduced a special birthday party room for kids and a dedicated teen hub, in addition to our newly conceptualized ‘Chococafe Garden’, which is a new indoor cafe that offers a tempting menu of snacks in a green and flowery garden all year around,” he added.
