Bulgari to open luxury hotel in Maldives

Bulgari, the luxury jeweller and hotelier, is opening a resort in the Maldives. As with many luxury players, hospitality and high-end hotels have become brand extensions to cater to elite customers, like LVMH, Ralph Lauren, Versace and Armani. Other hotels offer designer decorated suites, like the Dior Suite at New York’s Regis Hotel and Diane Von Furstenberg’s suite at Claridge’s in London.
