Giorgio Armani to launch first hotel in Dubai
Popular fashion designer Giorgio Armani will be launching his first hotel in the world’s tallest building, the Burj Dubai tower, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The launch of the building has taken place on Monday. However, the building’s offices, hotel and flats will be officially completed by March this year.
Dubbed as the Armani Hotel Dubai, this will be the first of a series of resorts and hotels that will be developed by Armani in partnership with Emaar Properties. The hotel will have 160 rooms and suites, spa, nightclub and two restaurants. The hotel will occupy the first eight floors of Burj Dubai including the 38th and 39th level. The 169 story building is measured about 2,600 feet high, about a thousand feet more than Taiwan 101 building, the previous world record holder for the tallest building.
The second Armani hotel will be launched in Milan, Italy later this year. The first Armani resort will be built in Marrakech.
