Dubai, UAE, October 29, 2007: Armani Hotels & Resorts announces the launch of its official website at www.armanihotels.com offering a range of information about the development of its unique worldwide collection of Armani hotels, resorts and residences.
Over the coming years, Armani Hotels & Resorts, representing the collaboration between Giorgio Armani S.p.A. and Emaar Properties, will open a collection of exclusive hotels, resorts and residences bringing to life Giorgio Armani’s vision of stylish, harmonious environments for living. From the room designs to the carefully selected textiles and fabrics to the impeccable service, every aspect of the Armani hotel experience will bear the Armani personal signature.
The new website gives specific details about the programme – the vision behind it, the sites under development, the services and amenities available at each location, and any other information that will allow the website visitor to know at the best this new universe.
Giorgio Armani said, “The recent opening of the sales centre for the world’s first Armani Residences at the Burj Dubai Sales Centre represents the ideal moment to launch this new website as the spectacular Burj Dubai development will also be the location for the world’s first Armani Hotel. Opening in late 2008, the Armani Hotel Dubai and the associated Armani Residences will effectively bring to life my vision of hospitality.”
Dubai is also the home of developers Emaar Properties, Giorgio Armani’s partners in the Armani Hotels & Resorts project. Burj Dubai, one of Emaar’s most ambitious projects yet, already holds the honour of being the world’s tallest building and free-standing structure. The tower, which will house the Armani Hotel Dubai, forms the centrepiece of Downtown Burj Dubai, the city’s new, vibrant downtown developed by Emaar on 500 acres of land.
Mohamed Ali Alabbar, Chairman, Emaar Properties, said: “Our partnership with Giorgio Armani highlights our two-pronged growth strategy of business diversification backed by geographic expansion in line with our Vision 2010 to become one of the most valuable companies in the world. Giorgio Armani redefines the parameters of the fashion world, and by partnering with him on the Armani Hotel and Armani Residences, we are adding an extra dimension to Burj Dubai, a true celebration of architectural excellence and engineering expertise.”
Giorgio Armani has been one of the world’s most influential designers who is now set to extend his design sensibilities into the arena of hospitality. Armani Hotels & Resorts will be places that offer the same kind of welcome to guests as the designer would privately extend to his friends and family. The website will continuously update the new Armani Hotel & Resort developments which now includes the Armani Hotel Milano and the Armani Hotel Dubai.
