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 combined her signature use of vibrant patterns and of bold colour, with the local look and culture.

Rosita commented: "Hotel Missoni offers a surprising experience of style, glamour and hospitality. The interiors are intended to make our guests feel welcome and comfortable. The brilliant golds, turquoises and sand colours take their inspiration from the land and sea of Kuwait. I am especially pleased with the creation of a palm and cacti terrace garden reflecting the precious local nature."

The property offers 169 sea-facing 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 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.

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.
