We stayed here for 2 nights as part of a trip around the world. We arrived at the airport around 6:00 A.M. and proceded to our cheuffeured BMW 7 Series that took us to the hotel. We were able to check in very early and proceded to the 12th floor. The room is the best room I have ever stayed... more

WOW!!!! I can't stop thinking about our stay on Burj Al Arab. Many years ago, I saw a documentary on this hotel and always wanted to go. Finally, for our Anniversary we decided to stay for 1 night. Our room was a Panoramic Suite with view to the city and the Arabian Sea. (Many of the hotel rooms the view... more

Me and my wife stayed at the Burj as part of our honeymoon. We had booked a helicopter transfer, but due to delays in our flight, the hotel had to cancel this, but provided Rolls Royce transfers instead. From the moment we checked in, it was obvious...this was no ordinary hotel. The decor is outstanding, the attention to detail is... more

Only a few coments as there is enough to read from others here. We were particularly worried about the staff 'asking for tips' described in other reviews. It was not a problem. Start as you mean to go on and don't tip the luggage porters. There is a very good DND - 'do not disturb' system operated via the TV,... more

My wife and I stayed here in between watching the Australian Socceroos play Qatar in Qatar and a conference in the Jumeira Madinat next door. (see separate review) This was our little treat to ourselves. What a treat. I am a very self-reliant and low key person, so felt a little uncomfortable at the start when greeted by 4 people... more

Stayed for 2 nights at end of trip to Dubai which also included 8 nights in Residence at One & Only ( read separate review ).I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about stay, having heard such comments as TACKEY, and OTT. I have been for dinner and drinks and have never thought it to be tackey. Tackey... more

Firstly, I would like to express to Tripadvisor how disappointed I am that this world famous hotel is not listed on your Best Of... awards. You astonishingly have no Middle Eastern category, which is not only bizarre but also for an international hotel review site completely WRONG as in my experience some of the finest hotels are in this part... more

We stayed at the Burj Al Arab as a special treat. It is so expensive costing £750 a night excluding breakfast but we went to get engaged so it was a special occasion. Is it worth it? Definately as a one off but to be honest its too much. The hotel is simply stunning and the rooms are amazing. The... more

Booked Indugent Afternoon Tea at the Skyview Bar on the 27th Floor. We were going to be late,as we couldn't get a taxi from our hotel. When we called to advise them,they were fine and told us not to rush and that they'd hold out booking. When we arrived,we were quickly seated...to enjoy a leisurely afternoon of being spoilt...all after... more
