Dubai is one of the world’s most unusual cities, bold and gorgeous, forward-thinking but
traditional. Its friendly people, distinct culture, breathtaking skyscrapers, and delectable cuisine
have made it a popular tourist destination for all. Dubai is a city of high-living, where nothing is
too extravagant. It is synonymous with riches, luxury, futuristic innovation, and architecture. The
city has accommodations to suit every budget, but you’ll have to splurge if you want to see Dubai
properly. The city is home to some of Dubai’s most luxurious hotels.
It’s the best of both worlds in some ways: you can still experience Dubai’s stunning attractions
while also luxuriating in five-star extravagance with huge and comfortable guestrooms and
suites, top-notch dining places, outstanding leisure facilities, and top-class service at the end of
the day.
Check out our list of the greatest Dubai luxury hotels, each of which has its own distinct charm
and will undoubtedly exceed your expectations.
Burj Al Arab Jumeirah
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
One of the most luxurious hotels all across the world, Burj AlArab, is heavily praised by
Telegraph, as they describe the beautiful piece of work as “Dubbed the world’s only seven-star
hotel because of its incomparable luxury, this luminous white landmark has a fleet of matching
Rolls-Royce Phantoms and duplex suites throughout. Bathrooms are stocked with Hermès
toiletries, and poolside cabanas come with wide-screen televisions and air-conditioning.”
Burj Al Arab’s exclusivity is accentuated by its segregation, as it is located on a private island
connected to the mainland by a strongly guarded causeway. Despite this, it’s only a short walk
away from four sibling hotels, the Wild Wadi water park and Madinat Jumeirah, a vast Arabian-
themed souk. Most postcard sights are en route from Dubai International Airport, only 15 miles
away.
A Teflon-coated woven glass fiber screen runs across the ribbed belly of the sail-shaped
superstructure. It’s white by day, but at night, colorful lights dance across its bulging facade.
Inside, a rainbow-painted atrium rivals the Eiffel Tower in height. Active aquariums, a waterfall
with dancing jets, and a mezzanine stocked with gold leaf and jewelry retailers at its base,
providing more glitz and glam than the Oscars red carpet.
The cutting-edge training equipment at Assawan Spa & Health Club draws athletes, and
treatments include renowned brands like La Prairie and substances ranging from caviar to pure
gold. Indoors, there’s a hair salon, saunas, steam rooms, plunge pools, and a stunning pair of
18th-floor infinity pools. Huge lounges with two-story windows and large electric blinds are
housed in richly colored duplexes in Pharaoh colors of blue, purple, yellow, and gold. Premium
suites include extra features such as a private cinema and a games room with a professional
snooker table.
A trio of Michelin-starred chefs oversees the main passes. Kasper Kurdhal, a seafood fanatic,
runs Al Mahara (The Oyster Shell), designed around an aquarium. Francky Semblat shows off
his French flare at Al Muntaha (The Ultimate), and Kim Joinié-Maurin spins elevated tapas at
Skyview, both on the 27th floor, with panoramic coastal views. The specialty cocktails at gold on
27 (a glittering bar to match the name) come in their dry ice clouds. Breakfast at the glass-sided
Bab Al Yam includes sausage and eggs, raspberry-glazed croissants, congee, and gluten-free
museli, among other items. Its name translates to “Gateway to the Sea,” It overlooks the patio
where Scape offers Cote d’Azur cuisine beginning at lunchtime. Other restaurants include Al
Iwan, which serves Arabian classics, Sahn Edder in the atrium, and Junsui, which serves Asian
buffets decorated with Swarovski crystals.
Apart from all of these amenities, there are a few little-known facts regarding the luxury hotel.
Customers can choose from 17 different pillows on the pillow menu for a restful night’s sleep.
The renowned structure, which took over five years to construct, is located on a man-made
island. Burj Al Arab broke the Guinness World Record for the most expensive drink, valued at
27,321 AED, in 2008, in addition to being the world’s tallest all-suite hotel. The interiors are 24-
carat gold gilded. The hotel’s sumptuous interiors were embellished with approximately 1,790
square meters of 24-carat gold leaf. It houses the world’s most enormous Swarovski crystal
ceiling. The hotel’s ultra-luxurious Talise Spa is located on its 18th level, 150 meters above the
Arabian Gulf, and offers visitors breathtaking vistas while they relax.
Ermanno Zanini, the General Manager of Burj Al Arab, perfectly describes the luxury hotel, as
he says, “Burj Al Arab takes hotel design to a new level of modern luxury, and has also
redefined the meaning of exceptional hospitality, both in Dubai and around the world.”
