The Missoni Hotels are coming! The Italian fashion brand famous for its loud, brightly-colored prints, Missoni, is getting set to debut its first two hotels — one in Edinburgh, Scotland this Spring, followed by a Kuwait City property set to debut in August or September.

While the Edinburgh property is going to be done mostly in blacks, whites and silvers, expect the hotel in Kuwait to feature the bright, crazy hues you have come to associate with the brand (lots of gold, turquoise and beige, specifically) across the 106 rooms and 63 suites. ]]> Jenna 2009-03-19T10:18:59-05:00 Staybridge Suites Rolls Out in Kuwait http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/10/202415/434

A testament to the success of the country's long-range tourism plan, Staybridge Suites is partnering with Intercontinental Hotels Group to roll out two new hotels -- and this is just one example of the massive outcrop of hotels and hotel chains that are scheduled to open in Kuwait city.]]> annie0007 2008-06-11T10:28:03-05:00 Amazing Race Hotel Update: Kuwait City http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2006/10/23/12166/739 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/kuwait_courtyard.jpg">Another Amazing Race episode, another hotel that the racers don't get to stay in.<p>Last night's show had the group racing from Chennai, India to Kuwait City in Kuwait.
