The hotel is in a artificial island made for this amazing hotel. The luxe is the must of all hotel, the rooms are great and the room service available 24/7 is the easiest thing to make your dreams come true. The only thing is that everything as a cost. And to be onest is not very cheap. Suggested for honeymoon. More

We visited, looked at the suites (with their tacky decor), went to the restaurant at the top and had photos taken at the lobby foyer. Now we could say we had been to Burj Al Arab but we won't go back unless we need to accompany some people visiting for the first time. More

We wanted to REALLY see the building but didn't want to spend thousands to stay there so we paid for a drinks package which worked out to be $140 to have a few drinks in the sky bar. The reservation gets you across the bridge and inside ... pricey but I am happy we did it. More

...of the price range! Sure it is expensive, and you need a reservation to get in for cocktails, but this is a high-end, opulent, beautiful ( if not a bit over-done) hotel. The entry is like many things in Dubai, amazing. The fountains, the aquarium near the escalators, everything is high end. In the Bar, it reminds me of a... More

My girlfriend and I went there for lunch, the service was amazing and I ended up proposing after our meal. The staff were great and despite me not pre arranging it they immediately came over with a free desert, rose and cake to congratulate us. The food was superb along with the view of the coastline. Not to be missed. More

Too much money inside - gold bathrooms, dancing fountains... But .... You couldn't go inside without restaraunt reservations. Some very expensive watch shops ( i mean much more expensive then in Geneva). Arabian chic... Terrible restaraunts... Nothing more to say - no value for money More
