This looks like its going to be a really cool hotel but its strange that they’re opening the first Missoni Hotels in Edinburg and Kuwait. I thought I had posted something about it before but can’t seem to find my post. This is the hotels launch movie which is beautifully done. [YouTube]

Stuff I think is worth sharing taken from the b-sides.
If you're looking for something to do.
Shift through my older posts by subject.
Mark and Nat, a married couple who are living in Kuwait. Mark is a creative director at an ad agency while Nat runs her own design studio called Push+Pull.
Here are some links related to this blog.
The room looks small and cheaply appointed, like something you would find atop a brothel. But, I guess that’s what you’d expect from a hotel named after a company that makes sweaters.
Nice retro-chic with a modern touch. I don’t quite like it though.
The video’s beautifully done but if they were to play it on TV over and over again, I’d get annoyed. I thank God no one would have a 1min 56s ad on tv :)
A joint venture between a fashion house and a hotel group is something alright- just hope it isn’t going to end up looking all retro as it does in the video. But hey.. then again, that’s me- I’m just an old fashioned girl who likes Victorian or Middle Eastern themes.
the model has nice legs
you mean Edinburgh
hmm , it’s not bad at all : )
Mark this is an old news dear :)
wonder who will make the first wedding there
Nice to know more good hotels are opening. Where will this one be?

you mention it before in the top countries to visit in 2008 by one of the American news papers.
“Unique Cities and Resorts Around the World”…. So we’re unique now?
And what about the wine bottle shown in this ad? Do the Missonis realize they won’t be able to offer any Chianti at their first ever hotel?
So zaydoun… are u suggesting to Allow it in the hotel ?!
So what’s so good about it?
It will be located in the symphony project, the part that is facing the gulf street
Is it going to be a females only hotel ? :P
or is this adv is really designed for us arabs hehe …
It will be part of Symphony, which is Office building and mall, the mall is said to be extra posh it will be better then salhiya, all the boutiques will be there also they will not open any coffee shops there because they want ppl to go there and shop…not sit around…Thats what i heard! They will also have the best Spa in Kuwait..i think its called Senses…or something like that…
they were supposed to open this approximately a year and a half ago. and im not such a fan of Brand hotels. It looks bad.
what is the song in the ad?
I’ve been stalking this project ever since the ground for it was broken in 2005 so it’s nice to see that it’s finally wrapping up and coming together.
FYI – I’ve seen the designer’s plans, and the first room you see in the video [the colorful one] and the glass bathroom are for Kuwait’s hotel, while the second room [the one done in grays, whites and blacks] and the purple bathroom are for Edinburgh. I love Kuwait’s designs way more than the other one, personally.

They are also going to be opening one in Jabal Sifah in Oman in 2012 – Muscat similar to the Bar al Jissah resort and spa – which I think is going to be nice considering the location they are getting – Kuwait and Edinburgh were the first 2 – future ones are going to be in cape town, Brazil and Oman – Very interesting locations. Oman is going to be the next big thing
