Armani/Spa
It’s official: The Armani/Spa has just been named as the best spa in the Middle East. At last week’s Haute Grandeur Global Awards held in Dubai’s Palazzo Versace, the five-star hotel took home the award for the Best Spa, in addition to Best Design Hotel and Best Lifestyle Hotel. It’s not the first time the luxury hotel has been recognized for its top-notch facilities. Earlier this year, The Armani/Spa also won the prize for World’s Best Hotel Spa, Dubai’s Best Hotel Spa, and Middle East’s Best Hotel Spa at the fourth annual World Luxury Spa Awards 2018.
So what is it about the sanctuary that makes it so great? Well for starters, its location. The Armani/Spa lives in the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, serving as an oasis of peace and tranquility in the heart of the bustling city. The menu offers a number of treatments to pick and choose from, including skin-boosting facials, soothing massages with Japanese acupressure techniques, and body wraps using the Armani/Spa products, which can be purchased from the reception and delivered straight to your room. Additionally, the 12,000-square-foot space boasts a clean, sleek interior, thermal rooms, a relaxation lounge, a fitness centre, sauna, and a pool. What more do you need?
