Italian designer Giorgio Armani on Tuesday opened his first signature hotel in the world’s tallest tower in the Gulf emirate of Dubai.
$11 000 a night for suites.
Designed in plain shades of black and brown, it occupies space on the ground floor of Burj Khalifa and on floors one to eight, with the luxury suites on floors 38 and 39.
On levels nine to 16 is the Armani Residence, apartments designed by Giorgio Armani and sold to private buyers.
The hotel has no paintings on the walls in an attempt to “keep it simple and elegant,” employees said on Tuesday.
Hotel staff said a night at the best suite — the Armani Dubai suite, and it was already occupied on Tuesday — costs 40,000 dirhams (10,900 dollars).
In addition to fine restaurants, the hotel also has a spa, but this is restricted to 300 “Armani-style” members only.
In the Armani Prive lounge, the lighting gleams from marble tables and the largest LCD television in the world — showing Armani fashion shows. The lowest rate for a table in the lounge is 3,000 dirhams (816 dollars).
