Fodor's
"As the oldest hotel on the creek, the Sheraton opened to great fanfare in the early 1970s, but it's showing its age."
DK Eyewitness
"About as close to the Creek as you can get, it’s as if you’re right on top of the shimmering water when you’re in the elegant rooms at this striking hotel."
Rough Guide
"This old-fashioned five-star enjoys a good central location, a scenic creekside setting, opulent public areas... and an unusual wedge-shaped atrium dotted with palm trees."
Star Service
"Using a combination of beige sandstone, teal blue glass and multileveled towers, the building mirrors the constantly evolving skylines of this Middle Eastern urban oasis."

"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."
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."

""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."
