ROOMS & SUITES: 202

A billowing, sail-shaped structure soaring 321 meters above the Arabian Gulf, Burj Al Arab is a dramatic tribute to the region's seafaring heritage, and the world's tallest hotel.

Arrive at the hotel in style by helicopter, Rolls Royce or BMW. The rooms are all duplex suites with marble staircases. Individual service and attention to detail are paramount, with a private reception area on each floor, as well as a butler service for every suite. Each suite features its own laptop notebook computer, fax machine, and printer. The two Royal Suites are spread over the 25th floor. Palatial surroundings reach unsurpassed peaks of luxury, including a private elevator, private cinema, revolving canopy beds, majlis (Arabic meeting room) and dressing rooms larger than the average hotel bedroom.

Seven restaurants and lounges provide a variety of dining options from an underwater seafood restaurant accessible by a 3-minute simulated submarine voyage, to the heights of Al Muntaha, cantilevered 600 feet above the beach on the top level of the hotel. The breathtaking Assawan Spa & Health Club is located on the 18th-floor.

GETTING THERE

The Burj Al Arab experience begins the moment guests arrive at Dubai International Airport, where they are met by one of the hotel's fleet of chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce Silver Seraphs. Also, helicopters ferry guests to and from Dubai's modern international airport to the helipad that dramatically juts out from one of the upper Burj Al Arab's floors.
