It offers exclusive experiences such as access to the world’s highest observation decks on the 148th floor, luxurious lounges, and the Armani Hotel, embodying elegance and sophistication designed by Giorgio Armani himself. The Armani Hotel offers opulent accommodations with exquisite design and personalized service, ensuring a stay of unmatched luxury.
