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 "This Hilton (not to be confused with the Hilton Dubai Creek) enjoys one of the best beachfront locations in Dubai." Full review
Fodor's "An ancient hotel by Dubai standards, this resort was located in what was once considered Jumeirah Beach but is now part of the elaborate Dubai Marina."
Lonely Planet "Right on the popular The Walk at JBR, the Hilton remains a solid choice for a family vacation." Full review
Rough Guide "This glitzy Hilton boasts lots of shiny metal and an air of cosmopolitan chic – it’s more of a city-slicker’s beach bolthole than family seaside resort."
Time Out "Step out of the hotel and you’ll be on the popular Jumeirah Beach Residence Walk and have access to hundreds of cafés and shops." Full review
Star Service "Within walking distance of the neighboring Ritz-Carlton and Sheraton, this medium-sized hotel has little pizzazz, but it possesses all the necessary creature comforts to make it a popular base." Full review
