According to Rosita Missoni, creative director, “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 colors 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,” she added.

The luxury hotel is located on Arabian Gulf Street, nestled between the entertainment and main shopping district. With a prime location at the fashionable Symphony Centre, the new property offers panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and the Kuwait City skyline.

The hotel features 169 rooms including 63 suites, all of which allow guests views of the Gulf. Each room includes the latest Bang & Olufsen TVs, generous bath products, laptop connections and high-speed WiFi, and all suites are equipped with magic mirrors that allow guests to switch their bathroom mirror into a TV.

Guests will also be able to sample classic Italian dishes at the hotel’s signature Cucina Restaurant whereas Luna Restaurant located on the 18th floor will offer Mediterranean and Arabic cuisine alongside sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf from its terrace.

As well as Six Senses signature treatments and traditional Asian therapies, the spa will also offer locally inspired treatments, using local and organic ingredients such as olives, dates and Arabic spices.
