The Armani Dubai opening date (the new hotel in the Burj Khalifa tower) is supposed to be 18 March 2009 according to a press release from 04 January 2010. A bit delayed from the original 2008 scheduled opening date. But what could Armani Dubai Hotel Group do? They depended on the Burj Dubai (now Burj Khalifa) being opened - and that didn’t happen until 04 January 2010.
