Facilities and Attractions
The hotel consists of 202 luxury double floor suites that
range from 6 to 30 rooms. From the rooftop helipad to the
100ft fire and water displays, to the restaurant with a 3
minute submarine voyage, the Burj Al Arab combines the greatest
display of luxury with the latest in technology.
The Burj has its own fleet of white Rolls Royce's, not to
mention the 3000 square ft of gold leaf on the pillars and
fittings. Each two-storey suite comes with its own butler,
a 42" plasma screen, laptop, fax machine and a nice Jacuzzi
bath place.
The Burj has 6-world class restaurants including The Almahara
Seafood Restaurant accessed via a three-minute virtual
submarine voyage. The Assawan Spa on the 18th floor
caters for those requiring a little personal pampering; there
is hydrotherapy baths, oriental massage, steam rooms, Jacuzzi
and an assortment of beauty treatment rooms.
What it Costs
The least expensive room here costs around $700 a night and
the cost can rise up to $1,500 for a 2 bed suite, dining area,
kitchen and luxury toilet set for those very special moments.
A billowing sail-shaped structure soaring high above the
Arabian gulf, the Burj Al Arab is a dramatic symbol, accessible
by a three-minute submarine voyage to the heights. The Burj
al Arab is literally dripping with gold. It's a palace of
glossy, golden high-class kitsch certainly is not for the
traveller on a budget, however for a short stay in unadulterated
luxury its well worth saving for.
