Burj Al Arab, more
popularly known as the Sail, is the most expensive and luxurious hotel
in the world. There is no standard rooms. All 202 rooms - suites. All
rooms are double-decker, and the area of the smallest - 170 square. m.,
and very large - 780 square. m. night in the cheapest room will cost
you in 1 500 dollars. This is the first seven-star hotel in the world,
and concurrently it is a symbol of Dubai.
Sheikh Mohammed - the
ruler of Dubai - realized that the development of tourism it is
necessary Emirate recognizable symbol. Same as the Eiffel Tower in
Paris or the Statue of Liberty in New York. For this purpose he has
hired the British architect Tom Wright. The idea to build a hotel in
the form of sails came to him accidentally. He sat at the bar and drank
beer. Arab swam past the windows of the Dow with a sail boat. Tom says:
"Eureka!" Here is a simple and recognizable form, which can draw even a
child! "
To get in the Burj Al
Arab just impossible. It stands on an artificial island, and it
connects with the land bridge, at the beginning of the PPC with the
guards:
Sail In many restaurants.
If you order them in a table, the guard checked the list, and you get
into the hotel lobby. By the way, there is always walking a group of
tourists with cameras and open mouths.
Upon entering the hotel,
you will be rested in a ladder fountain with two escalators on each
side. Fountain periodically starts playing, spitting short streams of
water:
The process of
registration at the hotel is very simple. You give your passport, the
staff, while they themselves are sitting on the couch, eating dates and
drinking coffee. I do not drink coffee, and they offered me a wonderful
hot drink made from ginger, lemon juice and honey:
All restaurants and
elevators are on the floor above where we should go up the escalator.
On the wall next to them hid 2 large aquarium:
Upstairs is another playing fountain. This photo looks at the escalators:
Game of the fountain:
Burj Al Arab the world's
highest hotel lobby - 180 meters. The hotel itself cornered, and the
white side, which is usually visible from the outside, the inside
really looks like a taut sail:
If you raise up, you'll see that's a kaleidoscope:
Each additional floor has
a little previous. The corridors are not straight, but with convex
sides. Color of the ceiling varies from floor to floor. It seems
surreal. This corridor of our floor. It is difficult to immediately
grasp where's that - you should look:
On each floor, a
reception and concierge, to the guests comfortable. You always meet at
the lift and hold up numbers. This butler is always joking, asked how
was your day, in short, affability. Therefore, to walk along this
corridor is not scary. Fencing is very convex and wide. Down just look
impossible. To make the next photo, I had to keep the camera on his
outstretched hands. Above the lobby seems tiny:
Usually I try not to book
the standard rooms. Few overpaying, you can get a much better room and
better attention to himself. We ordered a Panoramic Suite of 225 square
meters. Panoramic numbers more than the rest on the floor and look
directly at the 2 sides. Here's the evacuation plan from our room. It
is marked in green. By the way, the plan hangs in a gold frame:
The hotel offers 27
floors. We asked the number higher, and we settled for a 14-tom floor,
but do not forget that each floor consists of two. Opening the door, we
saw the following picture:
