the only good thing of our stay was the weather ! All in this hotel is opulence, yes, but ;... money is money ! Incredible... This is not a touristic area .... but a bank area ! You 've to pay for eveything a huge amount of money ... it's indecent ! & People just even see you as a... more

The concept and suites are wonderful, you have to be amazed by the grandeur of this hotel. Like other travelers we found the pool wonderful. the Al Mahara restaurant the food was first class but total overpriced with a glass of wine being GBP30 or 150 Dirham, the Friday brunch was a joke at GBP96 or 495 Dirham the cavier... more

The 7* is self styled, although it has won several awards, a 7* category doesn't exist anywhere except in its promotional literature and PR. The 5* standard of most Hotels in Dubai is 'better' than many other hotels that are ranked as 5* elsewhere in the world anyway. Is it 50% - 100% better than the rest - that is... more

Yes it's expensive, but it's definitely worth doing. It's a great way to see the hotel and also a really good way to celebrate a special occasion. It's like no other afternoon tea we have experienced elsewhere, and we will remember it for a long time. more

The public areas are amazing especially the water features. The suites are like something out of hollywood and are huge. Everything you... more

The Burj is a special hotel, but it should be at the prices they charge. The service, food and room are all excellent but having stayed there once I would not return unless money was no object. Why would I not return, well I think when the novelty factor wears off you could enjoy other hotels just as much. I... more

Nov 6th, 7:00pm myself and 2 colleagues had a coffee date at the Skyview bar. We had HUGE expectations going into the hotel, especially after just coming from lunch the day before from the Atlantis hotel. The start of the experience was great. The driver pulled up to the hotel gate, and security let us in. As we entered the... more

Please consider my comments relative to the fact the least expensive rooms at the Burj al Arab are over $2000 per night. As such, expectations are sky high. I agree with the last few comments on the Burj with the exception of the individual rating it who didn't actually stay there. To provide a rating based on a refusal to... more
