Anchoring what might be the most popular beach stretch in the world, in Jumeirah - Dubai’s most prestigious area, Burj Al Arab is an architectural marvel that has put Dubai on the world map. Designed to become the icon of Dubai; a hotel that reflected the emirate’s past and its future as well as its bold ambition to become one of the most culturally diverse and dynamic cities in the world.

Architect Tom Wright was tasked with creating a ground-breaking superstructure that was to reflect the heritage and traditions of Dubai and Arabia. Architecturally designed to resemble a billowing Arabian dhow sail, Burj Al Arab is the tallest all-suite hotel in the world.

Famed Chinese interior designer Khuan Chew, of KCA International, is the woman behind Burj Al Arab’s distinctive interiors. A landmark that is the focal point for Dubai’s vast coastline, was designed by drawing inspiration from the sights and culture of Arabia. Chew complemented the hotel’s impressive palatial proportions by blending a vibrant colour palette with exquisite materials and original design features influenced by the classical elements (earth, air, fire and water).

The finest and most exclusive materials and products were sourced for the interiors of Burj Al Arab including 1,790 sqm of 24-carat gold leaf, 28,000 light fixtures, 24,000 sqm of Statuario marble from Italy, as well as custom-made carpets and rugs from South Africa and India, bespoke wooden doors from Dubai, and glistening chandeliers from the UK and Europe.

An iconic property with many distinctive elements from cascade waterfalls to fountains, three aquariums, and the world’s tallest atrium; was further enhanced in 2016 with another world-first structure, The Terrace. This 10,000 sqm luxury leisure facility is a perfect example of how one of the world’s most iconic hotels continues to innovate and evolve alongside dynamic Dubai, designed to reflect the shape of Burj Al Arab. The structure was built in a controlled cruise ship and yacht production facility in Finland before it was shipped to Dubai in eight parts. The facility was completed in 11 months.

The Terrace is home to the Restaurant & Lounge, two stunning pools – including a saltwater one spanning 828 sqm and another 612 sqm freshwater pool-dedicated butler-serviced cabanas, and a beach area with luxury sun beds. The 24 Cabanas and eight Royal Cabanas all air-conditioned and with the latest amenities.

ACCOMMODATION
The suite offering is unparalleled. All suites in the hotel boast floor-to-ceiling windows, offering each guest their own breath-taking view of the Arabian Gulf, while the in-suite electronic system is designed to allow guests to fine-tune their environment at the touch of a button. Every suite features a rain shower and Jacuzzi, an extensive selection of complimentary Hermès amenities and a pillow menu with nine options, including options for children.
