Aramani Hotel Dubai Opening Delayed

The opening of the first hotel designed by Giorgio Armani will be delayed due to volcanic eruptions in Iceland that forced flight cancellations from Europe, according to BusinessWeek.

The Armani Hotel Dubai, in the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, was scheduled to open its doors on April 21, but the opening date has now been pushed to April 27.

Every element of the hotel has been designed by the fashion legend, says a report by International Herald Tribune.

The 160-room hotel will feature eight restaurants and house Armani-branded retail stores, it says.
