Rezidor opens Hotel Missoni Kuwait

The Rezidor Hotel Group,
one of the fastest growing hotel companies in the world, has opened
Hotel Missoni Kuwait in collaboration with the iconic Italian
fashion house Missoni. The unique property featuring 169 rooms
is Rezidor’s second Hotel Missoni – the very first member of this
young and fashionable lifestyle brand opened in June 2009 in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
Hotel Missoni Kuwait
is part of the Symphony Centre, a boutique emporium located in
the shopping district of Kuwait City. Inspired by the Arabian
Gulf and the culture of Kuwait, Creative Director Rosita Missoni
combines her signature use of vibrant patterns and of bold colour,
with strong accents of turquoise, green and gold seen throughout
the hotel.
The property offers
169 sea-faced rooms. The room rates come all-inclusive of world-class
services including breakfast, laundry, high-speed wireless internet,
free local calls, movies on demand, and the minibar. The hotel
also features extensive meeting space, a modern high-performance
aiming gym, a steam room, a sauna and a pool deck overlooking
the city.
“Hotel Missoni Kuwait
is a fantastic addition to the Rezidor’s growing portfolio across
the Middle East. Opening a Hotel Missoni here is a true celebration
for our company, as it was in Kuwait where we once opened our
first international hotel outside Scandinavia. Hotel Missoni Kuwait
will further strengthen our presence in the region and reinforce
our position as one of the leading international hotel operators.
A combination of design, lifestyle and technology will bring a
unique lifestyle experience - as soon as you walk through the
doors, you’ll know it’s Missoni,” said Kurt Ritter, President
and CEO of Rezidor.
Hotel
Missoni Kuwait offers exquisite food and beverage concepts: The
Italian restaurant Cucina lies at the heart of the hotel and offers
authentic Italian cuisine while the Luna restaurant, located on
the 18th floor, serves a fusion of Arabic-oriental and Mediterranean
cuisine.
For lighter meals,
Choco Café offers pastries, chocolates and a selection of savoury
dishes, and the Pool Bar serves continental cuisine. State-of-the-art
technological design elements ensure that every guest’s stay is
seamless, using iPads for check-in, the latest Bang & Olufsen
TVs in guest rooms, and ‘Magic Mirrors’, present in the suite
bathrooms which enable guests to convert their bathroom mirror
into a television, at will.
For relaxation, Hotel
Missoni Kuwait will also feature a 1,500-square metre luxury Six
Senses Spa, which will be open to guests and non-residents later
in the year. Offering a full range of beauty treatments including
Six Senses’ signature treatments, the spa will have 10 treatment
rooms with manicure/pedicure stations, two yoga studios, relaxation
areas and a juice bar. The Spa has separate gyms, hammams and
changing areas for men and women, each with a sauna and steam
room.
Carefully crafted with
well-travelled individuals in mind - particularly those with a
strong interest in design, an understanding of food, and a craving
for an authentic experience - Hotel Missoni Kuwait will be staffed
by over 17 nationalities, speaking more than 14 languages.
Rooms at the hotel
start from 280 EUR per night including a la carte breakfast, limousine
airport transfers, mini-bar, laundry and WiFi.
