PB hotel design editorial

Built on an artificial island 280 metres off Jumeirah Beach and completed in 1999, the sail-shaped tower designed by Tom Wright of WS Atkins has become so thoroughly synonymous with Dubai that the two are difficult to separate in the imagination. The Burj Al Arab rises 321 metres across 56 floors, its exoskeleton of steel and fibreglass forming a billowing double-skinned facade that at night becomes a canvas for shifting coloured light. The brief was explicit from the outset: produce an icon for a city still writing its identity, something instantly recognisable from sea and sky alike. Wright delivered a structure with no direct precedent in hotel architecture — the sail form borrowed from maritime tradition but achieving a scale that belongs to a different category entirely. The interiors, designed by Khuan Chew of KCA International, commit fully to maximalism. Gold leaf, deep royal purple, and cobalt blue saturate the 202 duplex suites, with gilded four-poster beds draped in floor-pooling velvet canopies, mirrored ceiling coffers, and tufted ottomans in scarlet damask arranged with theatrical confidence. The palette visible in the images carries an Art Deco sensibility filtered through sheer excess — brass torchère lamps, curved sideboard forms with button-leather panels, and bold geometric artwork set in gold frames. Up at the Al Muntaha restaurant, suspended 200 metres above the Gulf on a cantilevered platform, floor-to-ceiling glass panels dissolve the boundary between dining room and open sky, polished chrome columns reflecting an unbroken turquoise horizon.

Burj Al Arab Reviews

"Our stay at the Burj Al Arab was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome and everything was luxurious and thoughtfully curated. The suite was spacious, elegant, so different from anywhere I have stayed before, it didn’t feel like a hotel room at all, but more like a private residence in the sky. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the level of service. The staff were incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing, always anticipating our needs and making us feel genuinely valued. A special mention goes to Monique, who we spoke with at breakfast, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly informative, taking the time to make our morning even more enjoyable. Every detail of our stay reflected the hotel’s iconic reputation. We left feeling thoroughly pampered and already looking forward to our next visit."

"We booked a non refundable stay in the burj for this June. Yesterday I see on Facebook that they are closed for renovations. They didnt even contact me regarding it. When I reached out to them via email they offered me to stay in one of their sister hotels for the same price (the audacity to even suggest this I could not believe). Then they offered me a refund which I accepted. My issue is the total lack of regard they had for me and others like me who have planned their holidays with the intention of staying at the burj. They knowing made a desision that will negatively effect lots of people Who have reservations in the hotel. And also they never even offered a voucher or a discount of future stays due to the inconvenience they caused. Disgrace of a hotel service."

"My stay at Burj Al Arab on March 31 was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the level of service was exceptional—every member of the staff was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our visit. A special mention goes to Emanuel, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. His attention to detail and dedication to guest experience made a lasting impression and truly elevated our time at the hotel. While some amenities were temporarily closed, the hotel more than made up for it by granting access to facilities at their partner property. This thoughtful gesture meant we didn’t feel like we missed out on anything—in fact, it added even more variety and enjoyment to our stay. Overall, it was a luxurious and seamless experience, defined by outstanding service and thoughtful hospitality. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a truly special and memorable stay."
