My wife and I stayed at the Burj Al Arab to celebrate my 40th Birthday, and boy what a Birthday, who would have thought turning 40 could be this painless...
Self-proclamation often leads to disappointment; this self-proclaimed 7 star hotel certainly does NOT!
Since the introduction of the star rating system by the AA in 1912, the range of 1-5 stars has offered travellers from all walks of life the ability to choose hotels of suitable comfort, for both their means and requirements. The 1-5 star rating has been proved to sufficiently categorise hotels of all size, types and comfort levels. Well, in my opinion the Burj Al Arab has rewritten the rule book, and justifies its self-proclaimed 7 star rating, and strapline of "The World’s Most Luxurious Hotel"
Irrespective of social standing and means you are treated with respect and grace, as is often lacking in hotels of this calibre. Everyone is attentive, and extremely helpful, the food is sublime, even a lowly croc monsieur from room service is elevated to Michelin star standards.
The indoor pool offers some of the most intoxicating views of Dubai, and the view of the Arabian Gulf from our room was simply stunning. Rarely am I at a loss for words, but I find myself desperately lacking in adjectives to be able to convey the experience this hotel offers.
I could wax lyrical about how amazing every component is, but sufficed to say, every detail is perfect, from the most opulent of décor, amazing architecture through to the most lavish of toiletries.
If you have to opportunity to go, I strongly recommend the packing service; your clothes have never been treated with such care…
This isn’t a hotel, it’s an experience and one that everyone should have at least once in their life.
