They believe that hotels are a natural extension for their core brand and will work with, and complement, their fashion business, their Missoni Home collection and their new fragrance range, that will launch in spring next year.
The design of the hotels will be developed through a tri-party team that will see Rezidor SAS and Missoni collaborate with Studio Thun, the Milan based architectural and design practice, headed by the celebrated architect Matteo Thun.
The hotels will be reflective of contemporary Italian life and style, and will bring particular focus to the bathrooms, bedrooms, bars, restaurants - cucinas, spas, and the whole service culture and environment. The development strategy for the brand will concentrate on both city centre locations as well as resort destinations. With target destinations including: London, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Milan, Barcelona, St. Petersburg, Istanbul and Dubai.
