Burj Al Arab Jumeirah

Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is the most recognisable hotel in the world — a sail-shaped tower on its own artificial island, connected to the mainland by a private causeway. The 202 duplex suites are the most lavish in the Middle East, with 24-hour butler service, private check-in on every floor, and a design of extraordinary opulence. The hotel's underwater restaurant, Al Mahara, and its helipad — used as a tennis court by Andre Agassi and Roger Federer — are the most famous hotel amenities in the world.
