1st Honeymoon: Burj of Khalifa & Armani Hotel

On the last day that we had in Dubai, we woke up to have breakfast at The Palace, Old Town.

Last day we be dining in The Palace

We headed to the Burj Khalifa, tallest tower in the world and tried to go up the towers. But the tickets were sold out for the next 3 days.

The Mall of Dubai and the Dubai Fountain

Such splendid view within walking range of where we stay

Guests who do not purchase a ticket are not allowed to enter the Burj of Khalifa, undeterred by we decided to enter the Armani Hotel which is located at a section of the Burj.

The cars parked outside the Armani Hotel

The concierge told us that hotel guests can choose which one of these cars they want to pick them up from the airport. The choice includes Lamborgini, Aston Martin and Bentleys.

Acting cool when entering the Armani Hotel, like we're staying there

We tried to bluff our way through so that we can get to the top of the Burj through the Armani Hotel. Turns out that the Armani Hotel is situated until the 17th floor of the Burj and that's the highest we can go. Disappointed but nonetheless wanting to feel like royalty, we went into one of the restaurants to try out the food they serve there.

Even the menu is gold colour and got Armani Brand

They served complimentary bread, I was contend with just having to eat free bread

Posing like a million bucks

We ordered two main and 1 dessert

The food is prepared like those masterchef shows you watch on TV. Good presentation and taste really good.

We had to wait 30 mins for the sponge cake, it's really nice with the sweet tasting foam

I enjoyed the dessert, good things are always worth the wait, but the wife is furious having to wait for 30mins just for a sponge cake and wasting her shopping time.
Having tried out the food in the Armani Hotel, I can say that their food is really top notch and while I was slightly worried that the bill would burn a hole in my pocket, the price was actually much similar to a fine dining experience in Jakarta. Only that this is a whole different standard, very good value for money, either that or everything in Jakarta is over priced nowadays.

We received a gift upon leaving the restaurant, I thought its an Armani perfune, turns out that its cookies in a fancy Armani Box

That's all of the photos from our 5 day Honeymoon trip to Dubai. Finally managed to upload them all.
