Frommer's "The Burj is among the world's tallest... and most expensive hotels, certainly in first place for sheer over-the-top appeal." 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

Frommer's "Impeccable staff... The sleek hotel interior blends Arabian touches with an ultra-contemporary design, and is among Dubai's most stylish." Full review
Concierge "Very much a chic city hotel rather than a resort, the room decor is minimalist in chocolate browns, dark woods, and gleaming marble with huge plasma-screen TVs."
Fodor's "This hotel is a hit with the twenty- and thirtysomething fashionistas and young wealthy Arabs."
Travel + Leisure "Overlooking Dubai Marina, the Grosvenor House Dubai is located in the city's Jumeirah district." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The well-appointed rooms at this swanky hotel are spacious with stunning marina or sea views."
Rough Guide "The entire hotel is a model of contemporary cool, from the suave public areas right through to the elegantly furnished rooms."
Time Out "The hotel has a range of rooms and suites, while the staff and management really are a credit to the hotel." Full review
Star Service "Opened with the aspiration of becoming the "lifestyle hub of Dubai." The stylish accommodations and the affiliation with successful European restaurant and bar concepts certainly help." Full review

"One of Dubai’s most iconic hotels... the hotel’s famous restaurant and nightclub offering some of the best food and nightlife in Dubai." Full review

"Grosvenor House, close to Jumeirah beach (but not right on the sand) is a luxurious Dubai hotel with a colossal lobby, plush rooms and plenty of fine dining restaurants." Full review
