All i did was to visit this hotel from far. The entrance is typically allowed for people who stay in this hotel. There is nothing really special when seen from the gate (which is about 500 meters from the foot of the tower itself). There is no viewing spot for this tower either, you have to stand on the main...

We visited the SkyBar at the top it was amazing by night. You must book in advance our hotel booked it for us and there is a £50 min spend per person. It is expensive but similar to London prices and well worth a visit

Wow amazing views of the Palm and down town Dubai. We went at night and again during the day to get the best of both. Fantastic cocktails - although there is a minimum spend of AED250 each payable on booking - but well worth it.

Since no visitors are allowed to go inside the hotel if you do not have restaurant or hotel reservation. I was tempted to book a restaurant, pay for expensive meal and go inside to see how wonderful this supposed to be a 6-star hotel. After I did, I must see it was totally not worth to do it. As a...

World's only 7-star hotel. Provides Hermes products in toilets. I was lucky enough to have a chance to have brunch on the 27th floor (Al Muntaha) of this super luxury hotel. And yeah, foods were good (not outstanding), service is exquisite, and views were really stunning where you'll find Jumeirah Palms on one side and the Burj khalifa standing on... More

An amazing experience having afternoon tea on 27th floor looking out over The Palm. Afternoon Tea here is not just a few curled up sandwiches and scones. It Is An Experience.

Now this is luxury. Like most things in Dubai it really pays to do your research. We booked early and requested a specific table overlooking the coastline alongside a window. We also mentioned it was our anniversary and they included a nice cake at no charge. The hotel itself is pure opulence, and the foyer area is quite impressive with... More

Apart from being able to say that we tapped glasses & enjoyed a cocktail at the "only" 7 star hotel in the world during our last night in Dubai, not much else can be said. Keeping in the architectural theme of Dubai, the Burj Al Arab won't disappoint as it exudes opulence & luxury. Impeccable service, delicious expensive drinks, spectacular... More

Great 7 course Arabic style afternoon tea in lobby area. Enough food served that I was full and could not eat more. They even serve you a small piece of meat. Something to try out!!

We were lucky enough to have dined there & had a private tour of this truly amazing Hotel. Few would have ever seen anything like this ever, anywhere in the world. What we would normally take for polished brass plates over each door threshold is in fact gold plated. This is just one aspect of a building that simply amazes... More
