I will meet you there next summer

United Arab Emirates

Burj Al Arab

Royal Suites

$6,850 per night

 

If Elton John and Donatella Versace teamed up to create a hotel, it would probably look a lot like Dubai's Burj Al Arab, which describes itself as "tremendously bold." The hotel's two Royal Suites are a gleeful explosion of all things gold, glittery and marble. Then again, what would you expect from a hotel that is shaped like a billowing sail and is the tallest hotel in the world (1,053 feet high, only slightly smaller than the Empire State Building)?

 

To put the Royal Suites in context, the Burj Al Arab also has its own submarine ride to an underwater restaurant complete with shark-infested aquarium, and it is built on top of a manmade island (merely crossing the bridge will cost you $55). Guests are met at the airport in a Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph. The two Royal Suites, located on the 25th floor, are split-level rooms joined by a private elevator. The rooms feature a private cinema, whirlpool baths and rotating beds. Each room also has a meeting room, dining room, dressing room and butler's room with a separate entrance. The décor is a mix of Greek, Arabic and over-the-top Italian as interpreted by Versace (some of the bed linens are indeed Versace).

but hey lets be realistic on this one! u know what this is! a sign of decadent society! lil sheekhs dont have any +veness to how 4 but rather copying western bs and taste for wannabee rich western socities. i mean, isnt enough to but a grand hotel on land but rather spend zillion carving a dhow shapped hotel out of the sea!!! naaah! it aint nothing but igonrance!!! we leave in their country like sub-humans and some 1 had the odecity to put this thing here! i say gimme a break!!! please do me a favor and put some thing i can be a proud off!! like a nice of natural pic for nomadland here!!! peace!

GUYS... It is not all dat walaahi... don't get your hopes all too high... I have been there.. Dubai has alot of better things to offer walaahi... Burj Al Arab is just over rated... according to my standards
