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

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

We stayed here for 6 days for our wedding anniversary. We've stayed in some top hotels around the world and been treated pretty good but this was a whole other experience. It is definitely a once in a lifetime thing, I'm glad we did it but I wouldn't do it again. We ate at the roof top restaurant and the... more

My wife and I stayed here in September in one of the Panoramic Suites (the one up from the entry level). We stayed three nights and could not fault the hotel or service one bit. I was a little concerned that the service would be over the top with staff following you about but this simply wasn't the case. Our... more

I recently spent 2 nights at the Burj al Arab and it was everything I had expected it to be. I am someone who loves hotels and I first heard about this one about 5 years ago. I have dreamed of staying there ever since. The rooms are incredible and you have your own butler to help with anything you... more
