Achieving An ‘A’ For Awe

September 28, 2022
Intertwining the glamorous realms of fashion and hospitality, the Armani Hotel Dubai stays true to the luxurious and sophisticated essence of Giorgio Armani’s illustrious label.
Beyond the commanding golden sand dunes of the Empty Quarter lies the magnificent, neo-futuristic Burj Khalifa that stands proudly in the pulsating heart of Downtown Dubai. Residing within this emblematic skyscraper is the swanky Armani Hotel Dubai, the primary instalment in the growing line of luxury getaways named after the iconic fashion label.
The hallway of the guest room floors is panelled with zebrawood and illuminated with LED cove lighting at the base and fluorescent lighting at the ceiling, reminiscent of an extraterrestrial spaceship. These lead to the tranquil rooms that are divided into 8 categories: Deluxe Room, Classic Room, Ambassador Suite, Executive Suite, Premiere Suite, Dubai Suite, Fountain Room and Signature Suite. Many of these overlook the magnificent structures of the Dubai Fountain and Dubai Opera House, as the hotel is located right next to the acclaimed Dubai Mall. The spaces within are partitioned with serpentine walls to mirror the curves of the tower’s exterior.
Hues of khaki, sand and umber splash the walls to complement the dark wooden furniture. In addition, the chequered pattern is a common motif used to adorn beddings, carpets, lamps and cabinets. Speaking of which, most of the furnishings and fabrics belong to Armani Casa, the designer’s posh home furnishings line While these help create a sense of soothing warmth, the extravagant ambience continues with contemporary four-poster beds and chaise lounges.
The signature Armani aesthetic carries through to the Armani/Galleria; along the narrow pathway lies haute-couture fashion accessories delicately placed inside rows of glass cabinets encased within the tawny panelled walls. The curvature theme also flows throughout the Armani/SPA to inject a sense of fluidity and elevate the oasis feel. However, the ultimate highlight may be Armani/Prive, the hotel’s nightclub that epitomises the alluring achromatic colour scheme. LED white marble countertops match the LED feature wall with geometric prints; these stand in stark contrast to the ebony-toned surroundings, especially the sheen flooring that reflects the glow emitted from the lights.
Granting a unique Stay with Armani experience, this establishment stands proudly as the realisation of Giorgio Armani’s longheld dream to instill his personal style in the most extravagant yet inclusive manner. The Armani Hotel Dubai certainly demonstrates the possibility of successfully immersing the core of an unmistakable signature fashion brand into the walls of a luxury hotel through creative ingenuity without an ounce of ostentatiousness.
