Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah
In August 1990, just two weeks after the outbreak of the Gulf War, the Park Hyatt hosted Kuwait's foreign minister, Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and Kuwait's ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Abulhassan. The Park Hyatt had to turn down Jordan's King Hussein, who was making an unscheduled visit to Washington, because it would have been diplomatically inappropriate.
