Fashion houses keep expanding this time luxury fashion house Gucci is to open a designer hotel in the luxury capital of the world, Dubai. The hotel will be an 87-room boutique costing anywhere from $400 a night to a whopping $6,000.
I certainly wouldn’t mind staying in a Gucci hotel; I’m sure the decor would be gold-plated and stunning. Elisabetta Gucci is actually planning a total of 40 hotels all over the Middle East, the Far East and South America over the next 15 years. Sounds ambitious, but if it can be done, Gucci will certainly be the brand to do it.
