Burj Al Arab

Editorial Review

Proving beauty isn’t skin deep. The interior of Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab resembles the vomit of a five-year-old who’s overdosed on M&Ms. Gaudy, glaring and far too orange. The décor is only saved by the lobby’s acrobatic water features. Thriving fish tank crawls up the length of the stairwell. Clientele at the self-appointing 7-star hotel range from curious celebrities to the filthy rich. Non-residents must pay to visit the sail-shaped landmark. Try the British tea and cakes—minimum spend of Dhs250—and bear witness to the obscene affluence.
