Burj Al Arab (Arab Tower) Dubai






Many of you might have heard about this star hotel in Dubai.  It is a deluxe hotel and I remember reading it is the only 7-start hotel in the world.  I guess 7-star is just to represents the luxury nothing more (many sites reports it is 5-star).  Looks like this is the world's tallest hotel and suites here cost up to $15000 a night (அடேங்கப்பா நம்ம நாட்டு பணத்துல எவ்வளவுங்கன்னே?).
Some details:
The Burj Al Arab is shaped like a billowing spinnaker sail.
The Burj Al Arab (means "The Arabian Tower" in Arabic) is built on a tiny man-made sea island, a mere football kick from the Dubai mainland. A short causeway links the hotel to the Dubai mainland.
The structure is firmly rooted. The foundation pillars reach 40 meters (120 feet) underneath the seabed.
The building is an all-suite hotel. There are 202 double-floor suites. Each is sumptuously decorated and equipped with
high-tech devices. The Burj Al Arab suite windows stretch floor to ceiling, offering grand sea and land views. Each suite
has its own private butler.
Double occupancy rates start at about $1,000 per
night for one bedroom suites. The two sprawling Royal Suites go for more than $5,000 a night.
Guests take a short submarine ride from the Burj Al Arab hotel lobby to
reach the hotel's undersea Al Manhara seafood restaurant.
Seated diners view teeming Gulf ocean life in a hangar size aquarium
tank through a long curving wall of sizable picture windows.
A helipad dramatically juts out from one of the upper Burj Al Arab's floors. Helicopters ferry guests to and from Dubai's
modern international airport. "Budget-minded" guests take the hotel's Silver Cloud Rolls Royce limousines.
