Jumeirah Burj Al Arab

Jumeirah Burj Al Arab is undoubtedly one of the most famous landmarks and tourist attractions in Dubai, and is renowned for its 'seven-star status'. The luxury record-breaking all-suite hotel includes a range of fine-dining restaurants, incredible beaches and the expansive Burj Al Arab Terrace.

Since its opening in 1999, the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab has played host to a covetable guest list of VIPs and celebrities from all over the world, helping put Dubai on the global luxury tourism map. Built on its own island, the sail-shaped building rises 321m, providing guests with an amazing hotel room view of the Arabian Gulf.

One of the best hotels in the world

With gold interiors, lavish suites and some of Dubai’s best restaurants, it’s no surprise the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab is often considered among the best places to stay in Dubai, alongside many five-star hotels. Throughout their time here, guests experience why it is often regaled as a ‘seven-star’ hotel. Before leaving the premises, they receive a mesmerising farewell at the recently renovated Exit Lobby, with its bespoke spiral chandelier – created by Czech design company Sans Souci, the glittering centrepiece comprises 210 crystal tubes and weighs around 450 kilograms.  

Diners can take their pick from Ristorante L'Olivo at Al Mahara, an underwater restaurant and aquarium, or SAL for spectacular views. Other luxuries include a fleet of Rolls-Royce cars on the forecourt and the famous helipad that has hosted the likes of Tiger Woods, Anthony Joshua and Roger Federer. 

For even more relaxation, the Burj Al Arab Terrace provides 10,000sqm of outdoor space for poolside lounging. The sun-soaked deck stretches up to 100m from the base of the hotel, letting guests enjoy the unique thrill of lounging over the waves.
