Hotel Missoni Kuwait is a luxury lifestyle hotel due to open in Kuwait's shopping and entertainment district of Salmiya. It will be the first of several properties of a joint venture between the Missoni fashion house and The Rezidor Hotel Group. The hotel's architects are Dino Georgiou & Partners, while the interior designer is Italian architect Matteo Thun. It will be the only designer hotel in Kuwait.
Currently in the final stages of construction with interior works underway, the hotel is scheduled to open in the second half of 2008, and will include 207 luxuriously stylish guest rooms with spectacular views of the Persian Gulf, a signature Missoni Cucina restaurant, a Mocha Missoni coffee bar, a Missoni Lounge, a Missoni Spa, a well-equipped fitness facility and an outdoor swimming pool. Additional facilities will include several state-of-the-art conference rooms, as well as a ballroom for large-scale events.
The hotel will form the centerpiece of the new Symphony Project, a 27 million KD (over 100 million USD) complex incorporating the beige twenty-story hotel, a red eleven-story office tower, and a super-exclusive two-story shopping mall. The hotel will have a spectacular location on the famous Persian Gulf Road on the Salmiya seafront, while the office component will border Salem Al Mubarak Street to the rear of the project, across the street from the American University of Kuwait. Salmiya is world-renowned for its shopping, dining and entertainment venues, and the Hotel Missoni will offer its guests all of this through its excellent location.
As of June 1, 2008, construction of the hotel is complete except for a small strip running across the height of the hotel tower in the front. Almost all the scaffolding on the façade has been removed, while the backside is fully finished. Interior works and the installation of finishings has already commenced. The hotel is planned to open in the third quarter of 2008.
