When you mention Dubai to most people, an image of this iconic sail-shaped hotel is likely to come up. Built in 1999, it has often been called the world's only seven-star hotel due to its incomparable luxury. Situated in a stunning location on its own man-made island near the coast of Dubai, it has numerous restaurants and bars, an impressive kid's club, a large luxurious spa and fitness centre, several pools, spacious opulent guest suites, butlers and even a helipad. A fleet of Rolls-Royces are available for guests too. No wonder it bills itself a destination in itself.
Though the hotel occupies its own man-made island, Downtown Dubai is only about 15 minutes' away by car.
Situated on a private island near Madinat Jumeirah souk; it's a short drive across the causeway to the mainland.
By plane: flights from London and Manchester to Dubai take 7 hours. The hotel is a 30-minute drive from the airport. Free private parking on-site. skyscanner.com
The hotel attracts guests of all ages, with deep pockets and a love of the most decadent living. The design is legendary: for example the exterior - in the shape of a billowing Arabian Dhow sail - is an iconic image of Dubai.
There are many ultra-extravagant ways you can arrive here: you can be chauffeured in one of the hotel's numerous Rolls Royces, or simply land your helicopter on the helipad.
