My Stay at Armani Hotel

Although I've heard more negative reviews than positive about Armani Hotel Dubai, I'm so glad I chose to stay in it during my trip to Dubai. The interior was a pure reflection of Giorgio Armani’s timeless sophistication and minimal elegance. It is the place to be if you want to be spoiled and pampered! The staff were very attentive and courteous at all times. My room was so elegant, with sliding walls on each side of the living room to reveal either the built-in closets, TV, and access my bedroom. And the best part of my room is that you get to have a remote control that not only controls the TV but also, the curtains, lights, and even the door! So if you're too lazy to open the door, all you have to do is see who's knocking by looking at your TV screen,  press the remote control button, et voila, the door opens. Here’s a quick tour of the hotel and my bedroom...

Fresh and lovely bouquet
The view from my room on the 39th floor. What a breathtaking view from the top!

More Armani flower arrangements scattered all around the hotel's lobby
The entrance to the 39th floor... a world of minimalist elegance
Armani Spa and pool.. total peace, quiet, and tranquility 
I was amazed to see everything in the hotel was branded Armani, even the Jam! If you must know, the taste was mediocre. However the setting of the Mediterraneo restaurant overlooking the Dubai Fountain, which I tried for breakfast, was really nice.  Food was OK, nothing special.. Oh! and the same applied to their dine-in room service.
Naturally, there was a small boutique inside the hotel selling Armani accessories. This necklace got my attention and got me into trouble too! Apparently I wasn't allowed to take any photos... a little too late!
And this is a photo of the Armani Ristorante which was absolutely delicious. Everything was perfect, the food, the setting, the presentation (art!!) the service. I loved it!

The Mille-feuille Mushroom was heavenly...Yum! Just look at the presentation!

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
