Dubai Burj Al Arab Hotel

The first six star hotel in the world. Voted by viewers of ASIA Travel Tips.com as the best hotel in the world in the Premier Travel Awards for Excellence, the Burj Al Arab will not disappoint.

From the moment that you step into the lobby you realise immediately that you have entered another world. Without a doubt the most opulent hotel in Dubai and most probably the world, the Burj Al Arab will stun your senses and leave you wanting more.

We have decided to let the pictures speak for themselves. Click on any picture for a larger version that shall open in a new window.
The interior was designed by Khuan Chew, Design Principal of KCA International. Other projects by Khuan Chew include the Sultan of Brunei's Palace, Dubai International Airport, Jumeirah Beach Resort Development, Madinat Resort and much more.

The Burj al-Arab features the tallest atrium lobby in the world, at 180 meters (590 ft). The atrium is formed between the building's V-shaped span. The atrium dominates the interior of the hotel, and takes up over one-third of interior space. It can accommodate the Dubai World Trade Center building, which, at 38 stories, was the tallest building in Dubai from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s.

While the exterior of the Burj al Arab is expressed in terms of ultra-modern sculptural design, the interior guest space is a compilation of lavish and luxurious architectural styles from both the east and the west. The hotel boasts 8,000 square meters of 22-carat gold leaf and 24,000 square meters of 30 different types of marble.
