Hotel Missoni is a joint venture between Missoni and The Rezidor Hotel Group, under their partnership they will open or develop 30 hotels by 2012. Missoni co-founder Rosita Missoni is overseeing all design aspects of the project. The Missoni Hotels will not only be infused with the House’s design aesthetics but it will pay tribute to its surroundings by infusing works from local artists in its design as well as pieces from Rosita’s private collection including a Hans J. Wegner Wishbone Chair. Starting in June you will now have one more place to stay while in Scotland. The Italian knitwear label will launch its first property in the Scottish capitol, the Missoni Hotel in Edinburgh.
A second property in Kuwait is set to open September 2009, with projects in London, Miami, Paris and Kiev in the planning stages. Hotel Missoni Edinburgh will be home to Cucina & Bar, an Italian restaurant that serves fresh, seasonal and authentic Italian dishes. The restaurant will be centrally located on first floor of the hotel with great views of the city as a backdrop.The fashionably bold property opens June 2009 for more information please visit www.HotelMissoni.com
