Even though the official rating usually only goes up to seven stars, the Burj Al Arab is a “10-star” hotel. It is the well-known sail-shaped hotel in Dubai, situated on a man-made island. It is more than just a place to stay; it is a representation of extravagant luxury that appeals to billionaires, celebrities, and monarchy. What’s different about it? Let’s take a look.
Burj Al Arab: The World’s Most Luxurious Hotel

The Burj Al Arab is an architectural marvel of Tom Wright. It was first erected in 1999 and stands as tall as 321 meters tall. Since it was opened to the public, VIP guests have flooded in from around the globe to make it the epitome of luxury that the world can come across. All things are crafted into exclusivity to make this seem less of a hotel but a palace suspended in the sky.
A Look Inside The Ultimate Luxury

Entering the Burj Al Arab feels almost as if one is entering another world. The interiors are replete with intricate marble patterns, glittering chandeliers, and 24-carat gold. The hotel boasts 202 wildly built duplex suites with floor-to-ceiling views of the Arabian Gulf. Even the facilities include Hermès bath items from luxury brands.
The VIP treatment starts the moment guests arrive. There are no simple taxis or regular airport transfers here—some guests land by private helicopter, while others are picked up in a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce. The staff-to-guest ratio is 8:1, meaning every visitor gets top-tier attention and service.
How Much Does A Night Cost?

A night at the Burj Al Arab can cost over ₹10 lakh during peak season. That’s more than most people’s yearly salary for just one night!
What Do You Get For That Price?

A hotel that charges this much has to deliver an experience like no other. You get to enjoy a private beach and the massive infinity pools with a 100-meter-long sea-terraced balcony. It makes you feel like you are floating in the water. Spa treatments are on another level with options such as gold facials and diamond massages-things you didn’t even know existed.

With their butlers available 24/7 and catering to any need a guest may have, the hotel still offers some of the best culinary experiences in the world with an array of dining options from one of eight fine restaurants, from an underwater place where guests sit while being surrounded by massive aquariums that house marine wonders. For sports enthusiasts, they can be equipped with fully developed gyms at their disposal, plus personal trainers for that premium luxury experience.
Is It Worth?

The Burj Al Arab is an experience designed for those who require the best of everything, not simply a hotel. It’s lovely to picture what it would be like to spend a night in such extravagantly extreme luxury, even though most people can’t stay there. It’s questionable if it merits 10 stars, but it’s undeniably one of the most upscale and costly hotels on the planet.
