The icon of Dubai, Burj Al Arab rises out of its own man-made island 280 meters from the Jumeirah coast, 15km south of the city and 25km from Dubai International Airport.
Unique
Exterior Design
Burj Al
Arab is managed by Jumeirah Group, the global luxury hospitality company and a
member of Dubai Holding. Burj Al Arab is designed to resemble a billowing sail
and stands at a height of 321 metres. The sail is dazzling white by day and
transformed to display a spectrum of colour at night, vibrant and alive against
the skyline. It is one of the most photographed structures in the world and has
been consistently voted the world’s most luxurious hotel !
An inspired
interior design
Khuan Chew,
of KCA International, drew the inspiration for the interiors from the land, its
people and culture. A robust and vibrant colour palette was derived from the
elements; earth, air, fire, water. The layout incorporated ancient and revered
traditions of hospitality, particular to Arabic nations.
The finest
and most exclusive materials were sourced for finishing the interiors of Burj
Al Arab. Amongst the fine items brought in to create the magical interiors were
custom-made carpets and rugs from South Africa and India; marble from Brazil
and Italy; wooden doors from Dubai and chandelliers from the UK.
