Burj Al Arab, Dubai

Introduction: Burj Al Arab is the world's only seven-star hotel and any reservations you may have about such a title will be quickly dispelled by the sheer magnificence and splendour of this project. No other hotel has such a striking presence inside or out and no other boasts such refined and attentive levels of customer care and experience.

Burj Al Arab is taller than the Eiffel Tower and is comfortably the world's highest hotel building. Its sail inspired structure has rapidly become the most potent international symbol of the fast growing city of Dubai.

Location: Burj Al Arab is located in the Jumeirah Beach area of Dubai, 15km from the main city centre and 25km from Dubai International Airport. It is well served by taxis and has its own fleet of 10 Rolls-Royces for guest use.

Bedrooms: An all suite hotel standing 28 double-height storeys high, Burj Al Arab comprises 202 duplex suites. Convenience, luxury and a highly personalised service are available for every traveller, enhanced by private reception desks on every floor. In-suite check-in, a brigade of exclusive butlers that provides around the clock assistance to each and every guest and unrivalled attention will charm the visitor.

Choose between Deluxe Suites (one bedroom), Panoramic Suites (one bedroom), Club Suites (one bedroom), 2-Bedroom Suites, 3-Bedroom Suites, Presidential Suites and two Royal Suites. Each features floor to ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the sea and coastline with room sizes from 170 sq. metres to 780 sq. metres.

Restaurants: A variety of awe-inspiring locations serve up a selection of succulent and imaginative dishes. For those with a head for heights try the 200 metre high Al Muntaha Skyview restaurant with its Mediterranean inspired delights. Or dive deep below the hotel courtesy of the submarine style lift and enter Al Mahara Seafood restaurant and marvel at the colourful sea-life of the gulf in the wraparound aquarium. For a touch of middle-eastern cuisine succumb to the comfortable surroundings of Al Iwan Seaview restaurant. Outdoor eating comes courtesy of the Majlis Al Bahar beachfront restaurant at the foot of the hotel with nearby sunloungers and pool for after dinner relaxation.

Business Facilities: Burj Al Arab's business facilities begin in the individual suites, as each is equipped with fax, copier, scanning and high-speed internet facilities. Moving up the scale there are a number of conference rooms that can accommodate up to 20 delegates and two superb boardrooms on the 27th floor.
