Hotel Missoni will open its first resort in Kuwait in late September. The Kuwait opening follows the brand launch in Edinburgh in 2009.

Hotel Missoni Kuwait’s debut will be followed by openings in South Africa (2011), Brazil (2012) and Oman (2012).

Hotel Missoni Kuwait will feature a swimming pool with mosaic floor in a signature Missoni stripe; 13,000-square-foot Six Senses Spa; Rosita Missoni’s family recipes at Cucina restaurant; 18th floor bar with Arabian Sea views; and access to a mixed-use luxury retail development, which will include a Missoni boutique.

Hotel Missoni Kuwait combines the style of the Italian fashion and interiors house with the expertise of The Rezidor Hotel Group.

The property is centrally located close to the main shopping area of Kuwait City, overlooking the Arabian Sea.

It is part of a new development that also houses a large shopping mall, apartments and offices.

Designed by Creative Director Rosita Missoni, one of the Missoni label’s original co-founders, the interiors of Hotel Missoni are bold, richly patterned and colorful. Each Hotel Missoni is reflective of its location.

In Kuwait, Rosita was inspired by the brilliant blues and sparkling beaches of the Arabian Sea. Interiors at Hotel Missoni Kuwait have a palette of gold, turquoise and beige combined with unmistakable Missoni prints. The property’s 18 floors feature design pieces such as Hans J Wegner’s Wishbone Chair. The lobby of Hotel Missoni Kuwait City will include large mosaic urns, a Hotel Missoni trademark. Every Hotel Missoni will feature these oversized urns decorated in the color scheme of the individual property.

Hotel Missoni Kuwait offers 169 rooms and suites, all of which have sea views. The 106 rooms continue the palette of gold, turquoise and beige and are accented with bold patterns. Combining form and function, accommodations have been carefully designed to meet the needs of today’s modern travelers with linens from the Missoni Home range. Each guest room has an in-suite bathroom featuring either a generous bath or a shower with a bench seat, rain shower and handheld shower.

Custom-scented Missoni bath amenities were specially created for Hotel Missoni Kuwait. There will be 63 suites, ranging from 805 square feet to the 2,260-square-foot Presidential Suite with a 970-square-foot outdoor terrace.

Guest room amenities include a 32-inch Bang & Olufsen LCD TV; a mirror TV in the bathroom; air conditioning; AV guest connection outlet; bathroom amenities scented with a Missoni fragrance; bathrobe and slippers, created exclusively by Missoni; complimentary high-speed wireless Internet; fully stocked mini bar; hair dryer; Illy coffee machine; iron and ironing board available on request; on-demand films; personal safe; three telephones; guest services; 24-hour room service; concierge; fitness area, located on the second floor; laundry/valet service, including express ironing.
