ACCOMMODATION

Celebrate the Holy Month of Ramadan in the luxurious and indulging hospitality of Armani Hotel Dubai. Experience the splendour of Iftar and Suhour with sweeping vistas of Dubai from Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.

Those searching for a more intimate dining experience can head to the Armani hotel, where it’s possible to book a table in the kitchen and watch the chef rustle up a fare dreamt up by the billionaire designer Giorgio Armani himself. The hotel is the 77-year-old’s second venture into the luxury lifestyle business - his first opened in Dubai in 2010 - and he regularly checks in on an experience which can cost guests up to 11,000 euros ($14,800) a night.

So any purchases a customer make while shopping on the high streets of London or enjoying dinner in Lebanon or any other activity they choose to do worldwide while on holiday will be handsomely rewarded. With this 5 percent cash back offer on all overseas spend, perhaps now its time to visit the Taj Mahal in India, or the Burj Khalifa in Dubai?

The Italian designer had opened a 700 square metre emporium dedicated to his stylish vision in Dubai Mall in July.

The world’s first Armani hotel, located in Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, won the ‘Best Business Hotel,’ award at the Gulf Connoisseur Awards 2010. Armani/Amal, the hotel’s in-house Indian restaurant, also won the ‘Best Fine Dining Restaurant’ award at the event. The Armani Hotel Dubai was unveiled in April this year and was designed by Giorgio Armani.

There is little surprise at this hotel’s entry into the Top 10 Hotel openings of 2010. There were sceptics who claimed this was a “fluff” opening, but the noise surrounding the arrival of the world’s first Armani hotel couldn’t be ignored. All eyes were on Dubai for the right reasons — and quite a stunning hotel was the result. Room categories available include 24 Armani Studios, 44 Armani Classic rooms, 38 Armani Premiere rooms, 36 Armani Suites, six Armani Executive and six Armani Ambassador Suites, and five Armani Signature Suites.

After a few delays, designer Giorgio Armani formally opened the world’s first Armani Hotel in the Burj Khalifa on Tuesday and said his company would, in partnership with Dubai-based Emaar Properties, open 10 more such hotels over the next 10 years.

Located in the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, the 160-room hotel is clad from bedhead to bar with Giorgio Armani-designed furnishings from the label's home collection. A total of four resorts and 10 Armani hotels are planned for the world's fashion capitals, including Milan (2010), London, Paris, New York and Tokyo.

Armani Hotel Dubai, the world's first hotel developed by Armani Hotels '&' Resorts, in Burj Khalifa opened on April 21, 2010. It is the first such hotel to be launched under the collaboration between Emaar Properties PJSC and Giorgio Armani SpA. An integral component of Burj Khalifa, every element of the Armani Hotel Dubai has been personally designed by fashion legend Giorgio Armani.
