Gucci Ventures into the Hospitality Sector

Italian fashion icon Gucci is set to make its mark in the hospitality industry by launching its own hotel chain. The first hotel will debut in Dubai, with subsequent locations planned for Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Oman, and China.

Lorens Ziller, the managing director of Elisabetta Gucci Hotels, announced that the inaugural Gucci hotel is scheduled to open in Dubai’s Media City by the end of the year. Although construction has not yet commenced, detailed plans are in place for the design of the 87-suite hotel. Elisabetta Gucci, daughter of the renowned designer Paolo Gucci, is heavily involved in the design process.

The hotel aims to offer a luxurious experience with amenities such as 24-hour room service, a cigar club, a spa, a fitness center, and a swimming pool. This new venture marks a significant expansion of the Gucci brand, traditionally known for its high-end fashion and accessories, into the luxury accommodation sector.
