"I really admire Tom Coll’s pastry work at the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah in Dubai; he’s a pastry chef with a bold, modern style that I find inspiring." - Nicola Leigh Stewart
"Set in a shining, sailboat-like building on the water, this hotel epitomizes Dubai excess: expect beds with choices of feather, goose-down, or anti-allergy fillings, gold-embellished furniture and presidential duplex bathrooms with full-size Jacuzzis, all part of the outlandish suite offerings that define the city's highest tier." - Mitchell Friedman
"A luxurious hotel that marks its 25th anniversary and is featured on Condé Nast Traveller's prestigious Gold List."
"Perched on its own island, the sail-inspired Burj Al Arab is one of Dubai’s most iconic symbols and, at 25 years, embraces unapologetic opulence rather than quiet luxury: every suite is a duplex with sweeping staircases and gold accents, Hermès toiletries (including eaux de parfum), eight on-site restaurants such as the gold-laden Gilt Sky Bar, and a Talise Spa whose indoor pool with mosaic pillars remains a destination in itself." - Laura Ratliff
"The iconic image of the sail-inspired structure, which stands alone on its own purpose-built island just off Dubai's Jumeirah Beach, can be found in souvenir shops, on postcards, and in the camera roll of just about any traveler who visits the city. Together with the Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah, it is a symbol of Dubai’s unending ambition. This year Jumeirah’s flagship hotel is celebrating 25 years since opening its opulent doors. If quiet luxury is the current in-vogue hotel trend, Jumeirah Burj Al Arab is the antithesis of that. Each of the 198 suites is a duplex, and guests are greeted with a sweeping staircase and gold accents. Full-size toiletries are from Hermès (and include eaux de parfum for him and her). There are eight on-site restaurants, including the gold-laden Gilt Sky Bar. The Talise Spa, meanwhile, with its indoor pool flanked by colorful mosaic pillars, remains a destination within itself—the jewel in this hotel’s crown. From $1,670. —Sophie Prideaux" - CNT Editors
