(MENAFN) Luxury hotelier Elisabetta Gucci said that it is planning 40 hotels over the next 15 years in the Middle East, Far East and South America and aims to open its first hotel in Dubai at the end of the year, Gulf Daily News reported.

Partner Lorens Ziller at Elisabetta Gucci Hotels and Resorts said the construction of the 87-room boutique hotel is completed, with the firm eyeing a second hotel in China next year. Elisabetta Gucci is daughter of Italian fashion designer Paolo Gucci.
