Giorgio Armani, the renowned Italian fashion designer and founder of the eponymously named luxury fashion brand, launched his second hotel in Milan. The property, named Armani Hotel Milano, was declared open on Nov.10.

The launch of the Milano follows that of the Armani Hotel Dubai, located in Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world.

The newly opened property in Milan is situated in the city's Manzoni 31 building and is the result of a collaboration between Armani S.p.A and Emaar Properties PJSC, a global developer.

The luxury hotel is set close to Via Montenapoleone and della Spiga, the city's high-end and high-profile shopping districts. According to Vogue UK, the hotel boasts a business center with conference rooms and IT facilities, a seventh-floor glass restaurant with views of the Duomo and a eight-floor, panoramic beauty and treatment center, gym and pool.

A host of celebrities and movie stars were present at the launch.
