The world's tallest hotel (321 meters) is  also popularly described as the world's only 7-Star hotel - although its  formal rating is 5 Star Deluxe, the highest the international rating  system offers. Built on its own artificial island, the hotel can be reached by  causeway (in one of its courtesy white Rolls Royces) or by helicopter,  straight to its heliport cantilevered out from its top floor. (The  heliport has also served as a grass tennis court for Andre Agassi and  Roger Federer, and a golf green for Tiger Woods.) <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/burjalarab-a1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Also  extending from the top floor is the Skyview Bar, with sunset views over  the Gulf, including the artificial Palm Jumeirah island and The World  archipelago. Inside, the superlatives mostly translate into extreme  gaudiness, with gold leaf applied more for quantity than design. There  is little subtlety in the decor of the communal entrance areas, with the  exception of the dramatic larger-than-life aquaria lining the  escalators. <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/032364.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   The  front (shore-facing) facade is constructed of two tiers of huge, steel  'X' trusses. Below these, full-width windows provide panoramic views  from two levels of entrance lobby, unencumbered by structural support. <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/032359.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Above  these first two levels, the facade outside of the trusses is made up of  translucent white fabric stretched around the structural frame - the  sail of the dhow that the building's shape is inspired by. During the  day, this white wall glows to illuminate the full-height atrium (at 180  meters, the world's tallest). At night, a complex arrangement of  changing projected lighting makes Burj Al Arab a changing beacon seen  from outside, while providing a dramatic illuminated show seen from the  atrium within. <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/burj-al-arab-dubai18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   On the opposite side of the atrium, the floors are organized around corridor 'galleries' that open onto the atrium space. <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/tumblr_l31eq7ymg21qaevjno1_500.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Burj  Al Arab is famous for going that extra mile for pleasing its guests.  And if you happen to be one of the best tennis players on the planet  they will be gracious enough to convert their helipad for you to play! <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/032369.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/Burj-Al-Arab-dubai16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/Burj-Al-Arab-dubai14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/al-muhara-restaurant-burj-al-arab.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/burj-al-arab-luxury-suite.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/dubai-7-star-hotel-5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="http://sweetydesign.com/media/k2/galleries/142/ddubai-7-star-hotel-6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/images/icons/sq/4.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/images/icons/sq/4.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/images/icons/sq/4.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
