Designer Giorgio Armani is known for his sexy and dazzling confections littering the Runways but now he will also be hailed for his latest venture. He is now the proud designer of his very first hotel in one of the hottest and titillating cities in the world - Dubai. The massively impressive 160-room hotel happens to be the tallest building in the world and boasts an array of goodies including spas, restaurants, and retail stores. Armani hotel takes up eight floors and he insists that the spaces are a reflection of his unrivaled wordly style; "The idea is that you should feel as if you are coming to my home". This is the first of hopefully many collaborations between the Italian magnate's Armani SpA and Dubai based Emaar Properties. A collection of hotels and resorts are scheduled to hit major cities around the world. Dubai has been struggling to recover from the damaging publicity due to the unstable economic climate brought on by increasing debt and the global financial recesssion. But Armani and his partners are not discouraged and see their magnificent work as a testament to the fact that Dubai, like most rich cities will eventually recover from the recession as long as businesses like theirs keep pumping money into the economy. There is no doubt that this is a much needed boost for Dubai.
