The spectacular Burj Al Arab-designed to resemble the graceful sails of an Arabian dhow-soars to a height of three hundred and twenty one meters-dominating the Dubai coastline-The all suite hotel is situated on a man made island some two hundred and eighty meters-offshore and is linked to the mainland by a slender-gently curving causeway-Each of the two hundred and two suites is arranged over two floors and all with floor to ceiling-wall to wall windows and tranquil views of the sea-The highest standards of personal service are enhanced by private reception desks on every floor-In-suite check-in-a brigade of exclusive butlers that provide around the clock assistance and unrivaled attention never ceases to amaze our guests

The hotel is impressive with gorgeous suites. The location is wonderful with all the sister hotels just a buggy (golf carts) ride away or a view out your window. The buggy rides with very friendly drivers was great. The suites were over the top
with electronic controls for everything from drapes & mood lighting to opening the front door, beautiful bathrooms with fullsize toiletry amenities, staircase. You can call the butler to draw your bath water if you wish. The "office" comes complete with a laptop computer, fax machine with your own fax number. Definitely worth the experience once.
Prices are ridiculous though. We went to the lunch buffet the first afternoon. It was a cruise type buffet and decor but cost almost $500. I would not recommend it.
The hotel was just to stuffy for our taste. It was 110 degrees outside yet they request no shorts or sandals in the lobby or restaurants anytime except the pool. Jackets are required for men at dinner.

Take a buggy ride to one of the many bars at the sister hotels. The drinks are MORE THAN double at the Burj.
