Located within the fold of the world-famous Burj Khalifa, and opening on to an elegant alfresco terrace with panoramic views of The Dubai Fountain, Armani/Mediterraneo hits dizzying heights of alluring aesthetics.

But that beauty goes deeper, you’ll find it throughout their menu too, in the standards of service, the time-honed skils of the kitchen team and the sort of chic design touches you’d expect from an Armani hotel restaurant.
