The world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, got its first first landmark tenant this week -- an exclusive hotel by designer Giorgio Armani. Armani Hotel Dubai, the Italian couturier's first foray into the world of luxury living, occupies 10 levels of the 800-meter, 160-storey tower and has 160 rooms. The upscale design includes walls decorated with handmade Florentine leather, Japanese tatami on the floors and bathrooms featuring green Brazilian marble. Of course, if you want to live the Armani dream you'll need a fashionably large bank balance: Prices range from $760 a night for a room to more than $2,500 for some suites. |
