Designed by renowned creative figure Giorgio Armani, the eponymous Armani Hotel is located in Burj Khalifa. This glamorous spot is home to a wide selection of upmarket restaurants that make for a glamorous pre-show dinner. Armani/Ristorante combines the freshest ingredients for a taste of authentic Italian delicacies, while Armani/Amal revitalises regional cuisine in India for the cosmopolitan palette. After your night at Dubai Opera, get a feel for nightlife in Dubai at VIP lounge Armani/Privé.
Atmosphere

Up high on the Burj Khalifa rests a memorable respite, perfect for a pre-show meal. Atmosphere, situated on the 122nd floor of the world's tallest tower, is best known for its magnificent view of the city below, so keep your camera handy. Feast on an indulgent à la carte menu, washed down with artisanal tea blends, and watch the sunset over the horizon before you head down to Dubai Opera. If you're being let out of a matinee show, nothing says high-tea quite like Atmosphere.
