"Emirates Palace is grandiose and all about the bling. From its position on the western end of the Corniche, the eight-story, one-kilometer-long hotel is hard to miss; after all, it's larger than Buckingham Palace. Dripping in gold and boasting the largest dome in world, the five-star property screams luxury. There's so much gold here—more than 6,000 square meters of 22-karat gold leaf, in fact—that even the room keys are shaped like gold coins." - Melinda Healy
