The spectacular Burj Al Arab, designed to resemble the graceful sails of an Arabian dhow, soars to a height of 321 meters, dominating the Dubai coastline. The all-suite hotel is situated on a manmade island some 280 meters, offshore and is linked to the mainland by a slender, gently curving causeway.Each of the 202 suites is arranged over two floors and all with floor to ceiling, wall to wall windows and tranquil views of the sea. The highest standards of personal service are enhanced by private reception desks on every floor. In-suite check-in, a brigade of exclusive butlers that provide around the clock assistance and unrivalled attention never ceases to amaze our guests. These standards are further typified by the hotel's own fleet of Rolls-Royces and recently introduced luxury helicopter service, should our guests wish to experience their arrival at Dubai's landmark hotel from new heights. To dine at Burj Al Arab is an experience out of this world, with restaurants situated among the stars and below the sea.Room rates for December 31, 2011, are subject to a mandatory New Year's Gala Dinner fee for all occupants, including children above 4 years of age. A reduced menu price will be extended for children at the Festive Gala Dinner. Please contact the hotel directly for more information.
