House Gucci is prepped for world domination at this point, considering its omnipotence in capital cities like London and Milan. Just as we'd wrapped our heads around the opening of concept store Gucci Circolo Shoreditch, or House of Gucci in Leicester square, we've got a new Gucci opening to contend with.

'The Royal Suite by Gucci' has been announced, in situ at The Savoy hotel in central London. The Savoy and Gucci have partnered to give guests the chance to immerse themselves in the Gucci world, by spending the night in a suite fully decked out in Gucci's finest.

The Savoy’s Royal Suite has been transformed, featuring furniture, furnishings and decorative items from the Gucci Décor collection. In addition, art and antiques from auctioneers Christie’s have been carefully chosen to complement the aesthetic, which has been conceived to harmonise with the design and heritage of The Savoy.

If a night in the Gucci suite isn't totally your vibe, we have also rounded up a whole host of other design-focussed places to stay, from entire hotels founded by fashion houses, through to other custom-suites. Check out our favourite designer hotels to stay in below...

Guccio Gucci, who founded the fashion house, was formerly employed as a luggage porter at the hotel, and it was apparently some of the luxurious bags and clothes he transported which sparked imagination for the launch of his own leather goods company.

What's more, all of the Gucci items in the Royal Suite will be available for purchase. For more information CLICK HERE
