Armani hotel opening delayed due to volcanic ash disruption

A spokesperson for The Armani Hotel Dubai said in a statement “Due to the unforeseen closure of European Aerospace and the subsequent cancellation of international flights, the much anticipated grand opening of Armani Hotel Dubai has been postponed.” The hotel is the first to be launched under the collaboration between Giorgio Armani S.p.A. and Emaar Properties PJSC. The Armani Hotel Dubai has 160 rooms and covers 269,000 square feet across the concourse, ground floors, level 1 through 8, and levels 38 and 39 of the Burj Khalifa.
