DUBAI - Be ready to spend at least $1,500 if you want to check into the world’s first Armani hotel that opens on Tuesday in Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.

The cheapest room, a 45-square-metre Armani Studio, costs $1,525 a night. The priciest, a 235-square-metre Armani Signature room, costs $4,900 a night, about $550 more than the most expensive suite at Dubai’s sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, the world’s first seven-star hotel.

The signature room features three “fixture powder rooms, a storage closet, a spacious living room, one bedroom, a private study, a dining room, a full service bar counter and full service pantry, an extra walk-in closet and a bathroom with separated shower and bathtub”.

And if that’s not enough, you have the added comfort of knowing that Giorgio Armani personally designed the hotels’ 160 rooms, and each has a “luxurious range of Armani amenities”, the hotel’s website says.

The Italian fashion maestro, whose use of black and dark brown adds a subdued look to the hotel’s interior, said on Tuesday: “It has long been my dream to have a hotel in which I myself would like to stay and entertain family and friends.”
