Blondeheiress.com sources have learned that Nicky Hilton is launching a chain of hotels next year. The first hotel in the Nicky O chain is in the art deco Breakwater building on Ocean Drive, in Miami, where Bruce Webber shot the Calvin Klein Obsession perfume campaign in the 1980s. It is expected to open this February, with less then 100 rooms this celebrity A List Hotel is sure to be the jet setters destination in 2007. And in case you are wondering the O stands for Nicky's middle name, Olivia. Nicky expects to have at least 10 hotels internationally, all with the boutique feel.
Some suites will be designed by Nicky's favorite design houses, including Roberto Cavalli, Fendi and Heatherette. The hotel heiress will also design special private suites. If you like the look, you’re in luck as everything in the room will be for sale. The hotel will fuse celebrity culture, fashion and shopping - and a bed for the night all under one roof.
The hotels are not affiliated to the family's international Hilton business. Nicky will have a
hands-on approach with the hotels and her favorite gardenia scent will linger
through them. Nicky wants to do it on her own - albeit helped by her multimillion-dollar
inheritance. The chain is being developed on a condominium basis, meaning owners can rent
suites when not in use, so you can be sure to run into some of the traveling jet set if you rent a
room. Interested in buying into the hotel? The leopard-skin heavy Cavalli suite will only set
you back $10.5 million.
