DUBAI’S MOST EXPENSIVE HAVEN
When we talk about the most luxurious hotel in Dubai, we have to start with the Burj Al Arab. This isn't an average hotel; it's a seven-star icon. As if five stars wasn't enough so they decided to crank things up and make everyone else feel basic. Shaped like a giant sail catching the breeze perched on its private island in the Persian Gulf, this hotel is so exclusive. It has a velvet rope around its aura, and a night here starts at around $1,500 or AED 5,510, and if it is a royal suite, it will cost $24,000 or AED 88,152.
Burj Al Arab has its custom fragrance wafting through the halls. The hotel is so tall, at 321 meters to be exact, that it is neck and neck with the Eiffel Tower. It opened in 1999 and has since then hosted everyone from celebs to royalty. Walking into the lobby feels like tumbling into a billionaire's daydream. The ceilings are dripping with gold as they have slapped 24-carat gold leaf on over 1,800 square meters of this place. There is a fountain in the middle doing water acrobatics like it's training for the Olympics, with popping red, blue, purple colors like someone handed a rainbow a black card and said decorate. The staff glide around like they have been trained to pamper royalty.
