The most luxurious hotel in the world
The silhouette of the Burj Al Arab contrasts sharply against the blue sky. The palm trees at the foot of this building look like little more than cracked matchwoods. Impressed outside? Then prepare for the inside. The 180-metre high reception hall is lined with marble and gold. A private butler ensures a warmest reception. It's hard to choose between a private beach or hot tub. Or between the al Muntha restaurant on the 27th floor and the Al Mahara, where you feel enclosed by a huge aquarium at the bottom of the sea. In the Burj al Arab, anything is possible.
And with that, it symbolizes modern Dubai. Because even though it's not the only tall building, it still manages to stand out. By location: an artificial island in the sea. Because of the service: anyone who wants to can even get a Rolls Royce. And by its shape: a sail, referring to the traditional Arab sailing ships.
The hotel has a reputation for being the most luxurious in the world. Curious visitors don't just come in here. Only as a guest, or with a reservation in one of the restaurants, the gates open. At least you're not wearing jeans or a t-shirt. The dress code of the Burj Al Arab is just like the hotel itself: chic, chicer, chicest.
