Hotel Missoni To Open First Resort in 2010

Hautel couture strikes again. The Italian fashion house is zig-zagging its kaleidoscope of colors onto Kuwaiti soil. Combining the unique style of the iconic Italian fashion and interiors house with the expertise of The Rezidor Hotel Group, Hotel Missoni will redefine the design hotel. Set seafront in Kuwait’s fashionable Symphony Centre, Hotel Missoni Kuwait overlooks the brilliant blues of the Arabian Gulf. The colors of sand and sea, gold, mosaic, beige, and turquoise, clothe 18 floors of essential Missoni.

Genuine and uncomplicated, the contemporary hotel featuring an iconic brand possesses the warmth of Italian family life with stylish touches. Set amid one of the most exhilarating cities in the Middle East, Kuwait City offers modern architecture, historic sites, museums, scientific centers, beaches, and some of the world’s finest shopping. Step through the lobby of the Hotel Missoni Kuwait, adorned with oversized mosaic urns, and take in the bold, richly patterned interiors of the hotel, designed by Creative Director Rosita Missoni, one of Missoni label’s original co-founders. 169 rooms and suites, all with sea views, combine form and function. 63 suites, ranging from 805 square feet to the 2,260-square-foot Presidential Suite, adjoined to a 970-square-foot terrace, exceed the needs and expectations of today’s modern traveler.

A slew of superb amenities abound Hotel Missoni Kuwait, such as Cucina Missoni, Choco Café, Spa Fitness, three private meeting and event spaces, including a 6,000-square-foot ballroom, a fully equipped Business Center, outdoor terrace, and a swimming pool bottomed by Missoni striped tiles. Meet, rest, and replenish at one of Missoni’s dining choices; Cucina Missoni is open all day, offering a menu of fresh, seasonal, and authentic Italian dishes like Barolo Castelmagno cheese risotto, sea bass baked with a salt crust, and roast rabbit served with polenta radicchio, just like a page from mamma’s family cookbook; Choco Café, inspired by the Italian passion for the perfect caffè pick-me-up throughout the day, will serve a refreshing range of coffees, teas, and other beverages with a menu of light bites; further relax and unwind at the lobby lounge, two pool bars, and a lounge on the 18th floor, revealing stunning views across the Arabian Sea.

The Hotel Missoni Spa, operated by the world-renowned Six Senses, will share a selection of massages and face and body treatments with guests looking to indulge in pampering and local Middle Eastern treatments. The 13,000-square-foot spa will hold separate male and female spa areas and changing areas, including steam rooms, saunas, hammams, and relaxation areas, as well as a fitness area for men and women, one of the most glamorous outdoor pools in the world, a children’s pool, and two pool bars.

While designer hotels are springing up worldwide, Hotel Missoni Kuwait is currently planned to be the only hotel of its kind in the Middle East. Following the successful brand launch in Edinburgh in 2009, Hotel Missoni Kuwait’s debut in late September will be followed by openings in South Africa, Brazil, and Oman. Because while the iron is hot, you must de-wrinkle your Missoni’s nella moda in a hotel of high fashion. From threads to beds, Missoni is outfitting the globe in luxury lifestyle, couture culture, and crescent colour.

Nothing’s missing from Missoni.
