Well, it's not everyday that you can spend a good fine and a luxurious holiday in a grand hotel with all the quality services only a thought away. And not every hotel in the world can do that. And above all not every hotel in the world has the seven star rating (only some say so) but the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai. The hotel is definitely a five star rated Hotel anyways. With a unique architectural scale rising up for a height of 321m with 70 floors, the hotel is the most luxurious and the fourth tallest hotel in the world. It stands on an artificial island away from the mainland, Jumeirah beach connected by a bridge. As you can see, the shape of the building is a sail of a boat, a deign concept by the architect Tom Wright and the construction was by Rick Gregory. The artificial island's construction began in 1994 and the building was open to public since 1999. The island has to be a secure and a solid one to bear up the weight of the building. The constructors drilled 230m concrete piles into the sand and took more or less three years to complete the land area.
The hotel has 205 rooms whose price range is between $1000- $27000 and 8 suites namingly One Bedroom Deluxe Suite, Two Bedroom Deluxe Suite, Panoramic Suite, Club Suite, Diplomatic Suite, Presidential Suite, Royal Suite, Royal Deluxe Suite. Al Iwan, Al Mahara, Al Muntaha, Bab Al Yam, Culinary Flight, Juna Lounge, Junsui, Majlis Al Bahar, Sahn Eddar, Skyview Bar are the restaurants you can see inside the hotel. Al Mahara is accessed via a glass domed submarine voyage which has a seawater aquarium.
