Is the Armani Hotel the same as renting an apartment in Burj Khalifa?
No. Many searches for "Burj Khalifa rent per day" or "room price" mean the Armani Hotel. Hotel rooms are booked nightly and managed by the hotel. The apartments on this site are homes that owners rent out on yearly leases, or sell. See Burj Khalifa rental income and yield.
Why do low-floor apartments cost more per square foot?
In our sales data, apartments on floors 0 to 19 have the highest median price per square foot of any floor band. Levels 9 to 16 are the Armani Residences, so that band mixes branded residences with regular apartments. The premium may reflect the Armani brand and not the low floor alone. We cannot separate the two with the data we have. See price per sq ft by floor.
Who runs the Armani Hotel?
Armani Hotels and Resorts, the brand company set up by Giorgio Armani S.p.A. and Emaar Properties in 2005. We did not find a source that names the legal owner or operator of the hotel in Burj Khalifa, so we do not state one.
