Like Edinburgh, the Kuwait hotel will be filled to the brim with objects from the Italian Missoni fashion brand, everything from the coffee cups from which you drink to the decorative pillows you toss off your bed at night. And it's going to have complimentary Maserati chauffeur service from the airport, too. Hellowhen can we check in? Unfortunately for us, the hotel is in Kuwait, which isn't a destination we get around to very much. Edinburgh is a far easier jaunt, but to allay our curiosity, the Missoni

Sadness: We Have To Wait Until 2011 For Hotel Missoni Kuwait

With Fashion's Night Out this week and Fashion Week also upon us, our minds naturally turned to one of the most anticipated Fashion Hotel openings of the year, the Hotel Missoni Kuwait.

Last we heard, the second of the Missoni Hotels was going to open early— this month. But when we went to feast our eyes upon the new hotel in all its glory we were instead greeted with the words, 'Opening Early 2011... book now!'

Bummer. Way to make us feel like it's Monday, even if it is a holiday-week Tuesday.

With only a few more months to go until the second of the new Missoni Hotels chain opens in Kuwait, we thought we'd check on how things are going with them and their rumored complimentary Maserati limos.

Although previously announced as opening in October in the Symphony Centre development, the Hotel Missoni Kuwait has been moved up to a September debut, well over a year since their first property—Hotel Missoni Edinburgh—inaugurated the chain in Scotland.

But now, since they've just opened booking for their second property coming to Kuwait City this October, we'll have to add Kuwait to our itinerary. This Kuwait Missoni hotel sounds quite lovely, and at $220 per night on average, it better be. In addition to a complimentary minibar, two items laundry, Wifi and in-room movies, its 18 floors with 169 rooms will overlook the Arabian Gulf and benefit from a Choco Cafe, other restaurants, a Six Senses
