Luxury Italian fashion house Missoni is to continue its expansion into the hospitality sector with the launch of a second Hotel Missoni in the Middle East, with a spa by Six Senses.
Hotel Missoni Kuwait will open in early 2010 and have signature Missoni print and furnishings, as well as the 16,145sq ft (1,500sq m) spa by the Asia-based Six Senses group.
The spa will be located adjacent to the hotel pool, which will be tiled in the signature Missoni stripe, and the relaxation areas will enjoy views over the Arabian Sea.
Each hotel - in collaboration with the Brussels-based Rezidor Hotel Group - will be created to be reflective of its location. The interior design is being overseen by one of the original founders of Missoni, Rosita Missoni.
The inaugural Hotel Missoni opened recently in Edinburgh, Scotland, while a further four properties are being planned for Kuwait, Cape Town, Brazil and Oman.
A total of 10 Hotel Missoni properties will open or be under development around the world within the next decade. Details: hotelmissoni.com
