Hotel Missoni Edinburgh Now Open to Missonis; Opens to Public Next Week

Where: 1 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom, EH1 1AD

Where can we score a Missoni kilt for ourselves? Oh yes, perhaps at the almost-open Hotel Missoni Edinburgh! This first entry into what will be a series of Missoni Hotels—Kuwait's coming in fall—is prepping their Italian espresso machines and straightening out the creases in the striped bedsheets with only a few days until their June 8 opening to guests.

This past weekend however, the Missoni family themselves stopped in to survey how their fashion brand has translated into a physical hotel property. As you can see in the picture above, Scottish hospitality showed in spades as the family was welcomed by Missoni kilt-wearing waiters from the Cucina Missoni restaurant as well as a traditional bagpipe player.

Rooms for this month are looking quite within range as well—$283 for a regular room, or $386 for deluxe room with breakfast. If you aren't anywhere near Scotland this summer, you can bet that all the big glossy interior design publications will be flashbulbing the heck out of the hotel later this month. After all, it's Missoni from top to bottom and that means reconciling crazy patterns and colors with the desire to create the restful environment of a hotel.
