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

A "pillow menu" lets you choose from 17 pillows and quilts to make for a decadent night's sleep.

"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."

"The interior is gaudy but the spectacular coastal views, especially from the Skyview Bar, make up for it."

"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."

"While the Rixos The Palm Dubai is a perfectly pleasant, upscale resort hotel with an enviable Palm Jumeirah setting, there's not much in the way of real wow-factor or glitz found at comparable hotels."

"Set amid mature gardens on a secluded spot of Palm Jumeirah is this low-rise resort that scores big for its fabulous kids’ club, authentic Turkish hammam and great restaurants."

"Set bang on the beach, this super stylish hotel has rooms decorated in gold and silver tones with pops of colour and floor-to-ceiling windows."
