Jumeirah Beach Rd, Dubai, United Arab Emirates…
More and Maps

The Burj Al Arab Hotel is one of the finest lodgings in the world. Its breathtaking design (to resemble a billowing sail) is as startling as it is creative. Burj Al Arab is located in the Jumeirah Beach area of Dubai, 15 kilometers (nine miles) from the main city center and 25 kilometers (16 miles) from Dubai International Airport. It is well served by taxis and has its own fleet of ten chauffeur driven Rolls-Royces. It rises on a man-made island 280 meters (919 feet) offshore and is linked to the mainland by a slender causeway. The hotel ascends to a height of 321 meters (1053 feet), dominating the Dubai coastline. At night, it offers an unforgettable sight, surrounded by choreographed color sculptures of water and fire. This all-suite hotel is the finest the world has to offer.

Worth every penny

The architecture of this place is breathtaking, you just cannot take in all of its features. You gaze upwards and your jaw drops in awe. The service is superb with your own personal butler and the suites are fantastic. If you compare what you pay here as opposed to say The Ritz in London, this represents much,much better value and a location and climate to die for. (Except June/July...phew!!!) The only trouble is that once you've been here, everywhere else sort of pales. Oh and the person who gave this place a one star rating has obviously never stayed here. Try it, I guarantee you will love it. Mike
