Missoni rolls out boutique hotels

by Helen Patenall | 24 Feb 2009

Italian fashion house Missoni is rolling out a portfolio of boutique hotels, kicking off with its flagship property opening in the Scottish capital this spring.

The five-star Hotel Missoni Edinburgh opening on the Royal Mile in May will feature 129 bedrooms and seven suites, a bar and a restaurant as well as conference rooms.

The Hotel Missoni Jebel Sifah in Oman will offer 250 bedrooms and 50 apartments and villas when it opens in 2012.

Additional facilities will include two restaurants, a 1,000sq m (10,750sq ft) spa, two tennis courts, a private beach, numerous swimming pools, meeting rooms and a 400sq m (4,300sq ft) ballroom.

Missoni aims to open 30 hotels over the next decade — designed by Milanese architects Studio Thun — in partnership with The Rezidor Hotel Group. Initial focus will be on Europe and the Middle East, later expanding to the North and South American and Asian markets.

“It’s stylish, intimate, contemporary and eclectic design combined with the best of bars and restaurants will make this a truly unique hotel experience,” said Kurt Ritter, CEO of Rezidor.
