The World's Only 7-Star Hotel - Burj Al Arab by Jumeirah

9:58 AM / Unknown / LUXURY TRAVEL,

DUBAI Rising from the Arabian Gulf on an island 280 metres from the shores of the renowned Jumeirah beach and the enchanting city of Dubai, stands the iconic Burj Al Arab, a masterpiece of contemporary architecture and the most opulent hotel in the world. A glittering architectural marvel in the middle of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai's Burj Al Arab is a bastion of luxury in the new Middle East.

Designed to resemble the graceful sails of an Arabian dhow, Burj Al Arab soars to a height of 321 metres and is less than 20 kilometres south of Dubai city, dominating Dubai's coastline. Adjacent to Madinat Jumeirah, Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Wild Wadi, and in close proximity to the Mall of the Emirates, Ski Dubai and an array of world-class golf courses, Burj Al Arab is perfectly located and acts as a landmark at the very heart of Dubai.

Emblematic of Dubai's futuristic architectural feats, sail-shaped Burj Al Arab soars high above the aquarmaine Arabian Gulf, making it the second tallest hotel in the world. Even its tenacious perch on an artificial island off the famous Jumeirah Beach is a testament to its no-holds-barred opulence.

Luxury doesn't begin to describe the pampering you'll receive in every one of Burj Al Arab's oversized rooms. Glide between the two floors of your suite along a marble staircase, and soothe your soul in your spa-like bathroom with Jacuzzi, mosaic floor, and full-size Hermes products. Hungry? Choose from six scintillating restaurants, including Al Mahara, only accessible by simulated submarine voyage. Or simply call room service for caviar, champagne, and strawberries.

When it's time to soak up the cosmopolitan pleasures of Dubai, whether sunbathing or shopping at plush international boutiques, Burj Al Arab's fleet of Rolls Royces is at your beck and call.
