About The Hotel:
The Burj Al Arab has managed to give the suites a very neutral scent. No stench, cigarette smells or overpowering fragrances.
The butler gives you an half hour’s tour of your suite upon your check-in. Impressive…
All the suites are huge, and I recommend a panoramic suite, because of the excellent view you get.
Stickers on the windows that stretch from the floor to the ceiling, let you know that any window cleaners that might pass can not see into the room. However, no one I know has gone out to check this claim, especially when the lights are on…
As soon as you are received and escorted into the lobby, you are served cold wet face towels, some coffee, and a plate of dates.
The Burj Al Arab Dubai Hotel uses cutting edge technology like there is a Touch screen unit for TV, Butler, and Air-conditioning etc.
You get to use many other cool toiletries like La Prairie's Caviar cream, Gillette Mach 3 Razors etc.
The Wild Wadi water park is a 5 minute walking distance from the hotel and is free to Burj Dubai guests. This park is really great fun, and I recommend you should visit here.
You can have a relaxing Thai or Balinese Massage at The Assawan Spa.
The Skyview Bar with amazing sunset views over the Gulf, is worth watching.
The Sinbad Kid’s Club, located on the 18th floor of The Burj Al Arab is staffed at all times by professional child care takers.
The bathrooms are excellent - his and her basin, large Jacuzzi bath, shower with multiple jets, and the best part, designer toiletries from Terre D'Hermes.
Restaurants, in-hotel and nearby:
A short submarine ride from the Burj Al-Arab Hotel lobby takes you to the hotel's undersea Al Mahara seafood restaurant, where you can eat mouth watering lobster and crab, while watching the beautiful marine life in the huge aquariums. Been rated as among The Top Ten restaurants in the World.
Junsui, the Asian restaurant, is a must try. The Wagyu beef is lip-smacking delicious.
The top in-hotel, Al Iwan Restaurant, hosts a seven star hotel buffet that is out of this world. At a bargain price of USD 125, one can eat lobster, shrimp and other seafood, Kobe beef, 5 different caviars (Beluga/Sevruga) and many more dishes. Plus spen all afternoon, enjoying the super luxury.
The Culinary Flight at the Burj Al Arab is worth every cent of its almost 1500 AED price. Whew! It's a new concept to try out cuisines from 4 different restaurants in the Burj Dubai.
