Burj Al Arab 5*

Location The Burj Al Arab hotel, Dubai is located on an artificial island, connected by a 280 metre bridge to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The Al Mahara restaurant is reached by a unique underwater ride from the lobby. The floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall windows in all suites ensures panoramic views of Dubai and the Arabian Gulf. Experience the lavishly decorated spa, pool and health club.

Accommodation: Each of the 202 duplex suites are an architectural dream. Details such as stone (granite) from Brazil, and marble and glass from Italy, and the finest Irish linens are painstakingly gathered here to paint a picture of luxurious excess. Each suite comes with its own butler, wall to wall views of the gulf, and the latest in television and technological additions (Internet access, an outside video monitoring system which allows you to both see who is at the door and open the door without ever leaving your bed). There are 164 one-bedroom, 28 two-bedroom, and six three-bedroom suites available for your comfort. And that's just the low end. The Burj Al-Arab also has a higher (if possible) standard of comfort in rooms available. Two Grand Suites and Two Special Suites top the Everest of comforts found throughout the world's hotels. Each suite is spread over 2340 square feet, and each of them contain two floors connected with elevators. The perks include rotating beds, private cinemas, private Mosques, and bedroom sized changing rooms. The most expensive room runs in the ballpark of $7,000 a night.
