We’ve seen fashion hotels before. In some ways the parallel between fashion design and hotel design seems apt — if an outfit is a temporary personality, then a hotel is a temporary lifestyle, and there’s an element of fantasy to both. If there’s anything really unusual about the Hotel Missoni, it’s probably the location, in Edinburgh. But just as you never know when you might need, say, a tweed jacket, you never know when you might find yourself in need of a bit of modern style in the Scottish capital.
The building is certainly a bit of a fashion statement, a daring modern work by the Milanese architect Matteo Thun, which can’t help but stand out against the backdrop of the Royal Mile, some of whose buildings date back seven or eight centuries. Inside it’s no less bold: bright colors and eye-popping prints will quickly purge the very idea of tartan from your mind.
As in the best fashion hotels the Missoni is exceedingly comfortable, but stops just short of outright pampering. This is a hotel for people with places to go and things to do. There’s still plenty of time for a bit of Italian style in the Cucina & Bar — café by day, cocktail bar by night. And if you think Edinburgh is a bit of a curveball, the next Missoni Hotel is already set to open — in Kuwait City.

What I liked:
the location was excellent, you can walk everywhere. Very good italian restaurant in the hotel.
What the hotel could do better:
Didn't really like the design of the hotel at all, especially the strange mix of lighting in the lobby. Huge room but with uncomfortable seating and small inconvenient storage.

What I liked:
The location was perfect.
What the hotel could do better:
Improve the function of the amenities in the room. This hotel is all about design and form and completely neglects function.
