An Inside Look at the World’s Most Iconic and Luxurious Hotel: Jumeirah Burj Al Arab.

The Jumeirah Burj Al Arab is one of the most renowned hotels on earth, often dubbed the only 7-star hotel because of its incomparable luxury. It was high on my list for hotel reviewing, and I had the privilege of doing so. An icon in every sense, where you get tremendous value for money.

The customer experience begins upon your arrival at DXB airport, where you are welcomed into the luxurious Jumeirah lounge after collecting your baggage. Here, you can unwind and wait for your driver while enjoying a delightful snack and beverage. There’s even the option to use a luxurious shower facility (handy if you have an immediate appointment). You are then picked up in a Rolls Royce (or similar) to be transported to the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab.

When you arrive at the hotel, everything is taken care of just as you would expect from a luxury hotel like Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. You are promptly escorted to your suite where a quick check-in occurs along with an explanation of the features, and your luggage arrives promptly. The enjoyment can begin immediately with a warm welcome of delicious treats and a bottle of Louis Roederer champagne.

The smallest suite starts at 170 square meters and features a duplex layout. There is a guest toilet downstairs and a very spacious bathroom upstairs filled with Hermès toiletries. A true surprise awaits upstairs, a full-size Hermes perfume for each guest as a gift. And that’s not all, every evening a small gift of a mini Hermès perfume awaits. And let’s not forget about the breathtaking view. A-ma-zing!

A unique blend of Arabian chic & incomparable luxury.

Considered one of the tallest hotels globally, the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab was designed by British architect Tom Wright. Construction commenced in 1994, culminating in its official opening on December 1st, 1999.

Despite its 25-year-old furniture, everything is impeccably maintained and enduring, thanks to meticulous upkeep and the use of high-quality, durable materials.

In 2024, the hotel will mark its 25th anniversary with anticipated celebrations that exemplify the grandeur of Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. The hotel boasts 199 exclusive suites, each offering personalized 24-hour butler service. As soon as you step out of the lift, your suite door is already open for you. The smallest suite spans 170 m2, while the largest Royal Suite covers 780 m2.

The sail-shaped superstructure is adorned with a Teflon-coated woven glass fiber screen, transforming from white during the day to a spectacle of colored lights at night. Inside, a rainbow-painted atrium ascends to heights comparable to the Eiffel Tower.

Luxuriously appointed duplex suites with a grand staircase leading upstairs. Walk-in closets where your luggage can be unpacked and displayed upon request. Large windows allowing you to enjoy breathtaking views every second.

In the morning, a surprise awaits when you can automatically open the curtains and immediately enjoy the view (it never gets old, it’s that beautiful). There’s a comfortable desk in case you need to attend to some emails. The bathroom features a bathtub (jacuzzi) and a spacious separate shower.

Between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM, you can pamper in complimentary drinks (soft drinks, wine, and beer) and snacks. Let your butler prepare the jacuzzi with a choice of bath salts and enjoy a glass of wine before dinner.

The turn-down service is a real delight, with treats, everything neatly prepared for the night as you would expect, and again, a mini Hermès perfume on your pillow. Sleep tight.
