After 11 days in Turkey (and still suffering from a cold and jet lagged), I finally arrived in Dubai. I was happy because I would be returning to the Burj al Arab (aka my “second home”), the world’s only “7 star hotel”. And the surprises started from the moment my plane landed. As I passed through immigration and customs, I saw someone with a sign with my name on it. I stopped and was led outside to a beautiful, white, Rolls Royce Phantom. The manager had sent it to pick me up.
As if this were not enough, when I arrived at the Burj, I was given the second surprise-an upgrade to a duplex two bedroom, three bathroom suite. Mind you that every room in the Burj is beautiful as the standard room is a duplex one bedroom, two bathroom suite, but my room had an additional living room and a kitchen besides the extra bedroom and bathroom.
Honestly, these pictures do not even do the hotel justice-you must see it to believe it. But I guarantee you one thing-after staying at the Burj al Arab in Dubai once, no hotel will ever be good enough afterward. It is without a doubt, “the world’s best hotel”!
