Rosita Missoni, the Creative Director of the iconic Italian fashion and interiors house Missoni, will exclusively design the 200-key, city-center hotel and its accompanying 70 fully serviced apartments.
Culinary options will include signature Hotel Missoni restaurant Cucina, which features a Northern Italian menu adapted from Rosita Missoni's personal recipe box, as we as an all-day-dining restaurant, a Bar Missoni, a pool bar and a lobby lounge. In addition, guests will have access to an 8,500-square-foot spa and fitness area, an outdoor swimming pool and a 16,000-square-foot conference and banquet center.
"Qatar benefits from very healthy economic conditions. Its people are receptive towards a new kind of luxury and lifestyle - our Hotel Missoni flagship will be a perfect addition to Doha's rising market," commented Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. Hotel Missoni Doha will be located in the heart of Doha along the C Ring Road, just ten minutes from the International Airport. The hotel will be walking distance from local shops, restaurants and the architectural attractions in the recently constructed West Bay area. Doha is also becoming an important corporate and meetings destination in the Gulf, and the city will gain additional international prestige when Qatar hosts the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Rezidor will open Hotel Missoni with Al Jassim Group, a leading business company with interests in real estate, food & beverage and consumers goods. "Inspired by Qatar Nation Vision 2030, we actively seek out new partnerships and aim to raise the bar at every opportunity. Hotel Missoni Doha will add significant value to the existing urban aspect and contribute to the commitment and vision of Qatar by greatly supporting the transformation of Doha into one of the world's leading business, sport and cultural cities," said Sheikh Khalid Bin Jassim Al Thani, CEO of Al Jassim Group.
Hotel Missoni Doha will join existing Hotel Missoni properties in Edinburgh and Kuwait. Upcoming developments also include Hotel Missoni Oman (2012), Hotel Missoni Ilha de Cajaiba, Brazil (2012), Hotel Missoni Belek, Turkey (2013) and Hotel Missoni Mauritius (2014).
