 VIP-persons
of the world scale usually have a rest in the United Arab Emirates, like
politicians, businessmen, sports stars and show-biz persons. You want to know why?
Go to the most luxurious hotels in Dubai and you will get to know it!
1. Burj Al Arab
is the modern dwelling place to be occupied by Sheherezade. If the «1001 nights»
happened in our time then the sultan Shakhriyar would obviously leave his
palace to listen to Tales of Sheherezade in the royal suite room of the hotel
Burj Al Arab. Burj Al Arab (same as «Sail») was awarded the title of the ‘Best
Hotel' under the release of the World Travel Awards-2006. This is the only
complex in the United Arab Emirates that received an official status of 7 (!) stars.
A room for night
in this place will take from 400 to 28 000 USD.
And it is
worth paying such a fortune. Clients are offered an exclusive tennis court at
the height of 200 meters
over the sea level, the restaurant in the shape of a submarine with an enormous
aquarium, panoramic elevator with the view to the Persian Gulf, a few complexes
for fitness and spa services, conference halls, concert halls and ballrooms
with variety shows and symphony orchestra, and even the spacious library.
The interior
speaks for itself; here you will find a designer furniture from the fine wood, incrusted
with gold; walls from marble and crystals; handmade silk carpets ковры; fountains
with neon illumination and mirrors on the ceiling. The special thing around the
every room is the floor to ceiling marine scenic windows.
The hotel
employs the dress code that is smart casual style.
2. Jungle
when 7 stars are not sufficient!
The Burj Al
Arab will sooner have a «colleague by the status». The architects who work for Sybarite
Architects have elaborated the platform for the new 7 stars hotel on the
artificial island. The 28 story «baby» named Jungle will be 300 meters away from the
bank without any connecting bridges and the apartments are accessible only by
the boat or the helicopter. The
shape of this high-tech palace will resemble either the cornucopia or the
styled butterfly.
350 million
dollars are invested into this project indeed. The majority of the
budget will be spent for two novelties, such as submarine restaurant and real jungles on the
upper floors of the building. Tropical plants will be cultivated there, the
exotic animals will be placed and the natural tropical climate will be created.
Jungle imitation will be hard to differ
from the original.
The
fundament of the Jungle hotel has been already laid.

pool and terrace where visitors are welcome to hookah and Cuban cigars from the
bar reserves.

and glamorous life will cost you a fortune for about 912 to 3 256 US dollars
