The second of Missoni’s hotels (the first is in Edinburgh), the Kuwait City location immediately amazes with its bold color palette by way of the famed fashion house’s signature vibrant hues and patterned textiles. See the rich purple walls, gilded light fixtures and glossy furniture (handpicked by Rosita Missoni herself). Such details are in surprising harmony with views of the glistening Arabian Gulf from all 169 rooms. Here, style is matched by substance with three top-notch eateries including Luna, an Arab-Mediterranean resto, a soon-to-open 16,000-square-foot spa, and ahead-of-the-curve “magic mirrors” in every suite which you can transform into a TV at will. And just in case you forget where you are, the label’s iconic zigzag stripe (made of nearly 10 million individual mosaic tiles) snakes all over the property reminding all who enter that this is the house that Missoni built. And if Missoni builds it, they will come.
