July 1, 2005 by DaveLeave a Comment

Burj Al Arab Hotel Dubai – The Burj Al Arab is one of the most modernistic looking hotels that you will ever see. As a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, this also happens to be one of the most expensive hotels you will ever stay at.

Its futuristic design resembles the billowing sail of a sailboat. Play golf or tennis hundreds of feet above the ground on the specially designed “sports platform”. This unique sports platform has attracted a number of sports celebrities over the years. This hotel is located on its very own island (artificially created) connected to the mainland by a bridge. Certainly unique design – very impressive in person (we visited for the first time a number of years ago).
