HOTEL MISSONI

The iconic Italian fashion and interiors house Missoni this month debuts the Hotel Missoni Kuwait. Centrally located near the main shopping area of Kuwait City, the hotel overlooks the brilliant and sparkling Arabian Sea. Its 169 rooms and suites—done up in bold and vibrant gold, turquoise, and beige patterns by creative director Rosita Missoni, one of the label's co-founders—are simple but lush, and feature Missoni bedding, towels, robes, and custom-scented bath amenities. The family-inspired Cucina Missoni restaurant will offer a menu of authentic Italian cuisine, while the Choco Cafe will serve light Italian fare. This is the second kaleidoscopic dream property in the Hotel Missoni portfolio: Missoni Edinburgh opened in June 2009.
