Which room to book: Some of the fifth-floor Armani Ambassador suites have vast balconies; otherwise, request a room with a view of the world's largest dancing fountain.
Lonely Planet "It’s all understated elegance... the sophistication is further emphasised by Armani-branded everything." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The 2010-opened hotel occupies the underground level through floor 8 and floors 38 and 39 of the Burj Khalifa, and representing designer Giorgio Armani's debut as a hotelier." Full review
Time Out "It looks rather slick and exudes a very masculine feel, with smooth stone and mahogany dominating Armani’s decor." Full review
Star Service "As its name suggests, this is a sleek and fashionable hotel that is unlike most in Dubai because of its position in the towering Burj Khalifa complex." Full review
