Frommer's "As with other hotels along Sheikh Zayed Road, the enormous Crowne Plaza caters to business travelers but is also friendly to holidaygoers." Full review
Fodor's "This is the oldest hotel along the Sheikh Zayed strip, and it shows."
Rough Guide "One of the cheaper five-stars on the strip, the Crowne Plaza is a haven of old-world chintz amid the modernist establishments lining Sheikh Zayed Road."
Time Out "The central location means you should only ever be about 15 minutes from any attraction or landmark, be it a Creek crossing to the souks and airport or a quick blast up the highway to the Marina." Full review

A "pillow menu" lets you choose from 17 pillows and quilts to make for a decadent night's sleep.
Concierge "Low-key it is not, with Rolls-Royce pickups at the airport, a rooftop helipad, and an entrance that denies mere plebeians the right to gawk."
Insight Guides "A stay in this iconic ‘seven-star’ hotel offers the last word in opulence, with every mod-con and indulgence you could imagine... ranging from remote-control curtains to ‘pillow menus'."
Travel + Leisure "This iconic, sail-shaped hotel—which soars 1,053 feet over the Persian Gulf, on an artificial island off Jumeirah Beach—literally epitomizes Dubai’s over-the-topness." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The interior is gaudy but the spectacular coastal views, especially from the Skyview Bar, make up for it."
Rough Guide "A stay in this staggering hotel is the ultimate Dubaian luxury."
Time Out "Welcome to the only seven-star hotel in the world. Okay, it’s officially a five-star hotel, but if there ever was a seven-star rating, the Burj Al Arab or ‘Tower of the Arabs’ would probably get it." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler ""Feel like a sheikh in your own palace" at this sail-shaped Dubai landmark, where interiors are embellished with 24-karat gold and the atrium lobby rises some 600 feet." Full review

"Billing itself as the “world’s mostluxurious hotel,” Burj Al Arab is a destination unto itself." Full review
Afar Magazine "Sets the bar for outsized luxury with Rolls Royce airport pickups, gold-plated iPads, and butler-serviced duplex suites equipped with beds with mirrored ceilings." Full review
