A Site for Sore Eyes: Armani Hotels Launches Website
November 28, 2007 at 9:21 AM | 0 Comments
Fancy a fashionable stay in dazzling Dubai? Style-conscious travelers are in luck, as the first of the Armani Hotels is set to open its doors next year in the striking Burj Dubai, destined to become the world's tallest residential and commercial building.
The newly launched Armani Hotels website, offering a titillating glimpse at what we can expect from the first hotel, is, much like the clothes and homewares fashioned by the same designer, a stylish affair.
Offering "the same kind of hospitality that he would extend to his friends and family", Armani invites you to inspect his spacious guestrooms, all bearing the designer's trademark minimal, clean aesthetic to create a feel of casual elegance.
Covering 40, 000 square metres, the Armani Hotel Dubai will include 160 guestrooms and suites, a luxury Armani Spa, a Private Members' Club, two gourmet restaurants and a nightclub. Bespoke designs from the Armani Casa Home Furniture Collection will furnish all the hotel rooms and surrounding public areas.
Real estate giant Emaar has taken control of the business side of things and will be responsible for the development, ownership and operation of the Armani group of hotels, leaving Giorgio to do what he does best: make things look good.

Fashion designer Giorgio Armani signed a deal last year to open up 10 Armani Hotels worldwide, with the first hotel opening in Dubai sometime in 2008.
Now, the NY Post reports that construction is set to begin on not one, but TWO Armani Hotels in New York within the next few months. Judging from the plans put forth for the Dubai and London properties, Armani will most likely be in charge of the design and style of all the interiors and amenities while the developer, the Emaar group. will take care of construction, management and operations.
However for the NYC hotels, restauranteur Joey Allaham of Prime Grill and Solo restaurants reached out to the Emaar group and will probably open up one of his restaurants in the hotels. No word on the opening date, but we're guessing around 2008.
Jeez, don't normal people aka NOT celebs or fashion designers open up hotels these days?

The contract has been signed and a partnership between Giorgio Armani and Mohamed Ali Alabbar of Emaar Hotel & Resorts LLC has been born.
According to the agreement Armani is set to open 10 hotels under the name of Armani Hotels and Resorts. The plan is for 7 luxury hotels and three vacation resorts. The deal stipulates that Giorgio will oversee the design and style of all the interiors and amenities (duh! Clean lines everywhere, people!) and the Emaar group will be responsible for all that fussy business stuff like construction, management and operations.
The first property is set to open sometime in 2008 and is part of the Emaar Properties Burj Dubai development, which will be the world's tallest residential and commercial building when finished.
