Snooping Around Hotel Missoni's New Website

January 9, 2009 at 11:37 AM | by JetSetCD | 1 Comment

[Update: The first Missoni Hotel will open in Edinburgh, then Kuwait and never in Dubai. We've changed the story below to reflect that.]

They may have picked the oddest cities for debuting their high-fashion concept properties, but Missoni Hotels is gung-ho to get guests in between their brightly-patterned sheets by the end of this spring.

The first in the line of hotels from Italian fashion brand Missoni will open in Edinburgh, Scotland (of all places) in May 2009. Apparently they think the Scots need a healthy dose of Italian sun and frivolous color.

If you're drooling over that gold leather couch, there's another Missoni Hotel opening in Kuwait sometime this summer. This hotel will feature a Missoni bar, Missoni pool & spa, and of course a 4-story mall complete with Missoni boutique. No word yet on room rates, but since a single Missoni top can cost upwards of $550, we wouldn't price the rooms any lower than $450.

Of course there were rumors that Dubai has dibs on the third Missoni Hotel, but that doesn't look like it's happening anymore.

Thankfully, we won't have to wait until spring to peek into the design-heavy hotel rooms and bathrooms, as Missoni Hotels has launched a voyeuristic website with short clips of life in the hotel, the message of which seems to be: "to stay with us, you better have a whole closet of Missoni clothing first." Hopefully, with their Scotland location, they won't be so strict as to discriminate against kilts.

    hmm

    As someone who is not a big fan of the classic Missoni prints, I think this looks really cool in, like, a totally trippy/nutty way -- and that gold couch is damn fly.
