Burj Al Arab Jumeirah

Indeed a 7* hotel in terms of deco and surroundings! We had make a reservation for lunch at one of the restaurant and thus was able to visit. Lucky was there early, so could enjoy the quietness and majestic architecture. However, when done with lunch, the crowd from tour buses bringing tourists for visitation actually spoil the ambience:( Too crowded :( Read less

At the luxury hotel, which looks like a gigantic sail and has long been world famous, the unthinkable became reality in 1999. With its 321 meters, it boasts the highest hotels in the world and is 14 meters taller than the Paris Eiffel Tower. The distinctive design, exposed location on an artificially raised island in front of the Jumeirah Beach Hotel beach, and exuberant luxury have made the Jumeirah Group's luxury hotel Dubai's landmark. In addition, he was nicknamed "The Finger of Allah in the Persian Gulf" and given many awards. There are no rooms here, but 202 luxurious suites, for the sake of simplicity divided into "small" and "large". Because of their size, even the smaller ones (from 170 sqm) can certainly be described as "spacious", the big ones (up to 780 sqm) anyway. The Burj Al Arab offers 27 floors, or better said 28 if you include the permanently frequented heliport, where by the way occasionally spectacular stunt jumps take place, like that of Tiger Woods in 2004. A 200-meter restaurant provides not only excellent cuisine and exquisite service, but also breathtaking views of the city and seaside. In the Burj Al Arab everything is really gold that glitters: Wide parts of the hotel, the bar, chairs, walls, pillars, just about every candle holder and many other precious items are of 24 carat gold leaf, reflect in an exciting way. Rolls-Royce for to shuttle anywhere, it takes four to six hours to arrange the lush flower bouquets in the lobby, and the suites are always decorated with flower arrangements, even if they are not rented. More than 30 different types of fine marble have been processed on 24,000 square meters, such as those Michelangelo has used, the bedding is made of valuable, hand-picked Icelandic downs from the island, amenities are original bottles by Hermès, the ceiling of the Junsui Bar is equipped with the largest Swarovski crystal chandelier in the world and impresses with 21,000 Swarovski crystals that replicate the Milky Way and the largest stars in the galaxy. Value: 300,000 euros. The latest highlight is now the 10,000 sqm "The Terrace", a private beach area with luxurious daybeds, butler service and huge, stylish infinity pools. In the past, in order to be able to enjoy an adequate beach life, the beach had to be visited by the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. Now, the elite relaxation life takes place directly in front of the hotel.
