ARCHITECTURAL INSPIRATION

Burj Al Arab "Tower of Arabs"
The only 7-star hotel
























The Burj Al Arab is a luxury hotel in Dubai designed
by Architect Tom Wright of WS Atkins. At 321 meters
it is the tallest building used exclusively as a hotel.

The Burj Al Arab stands on an artifical island 280 meters
out from the beach and is connected to the mainland by
a private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure designed
to symbolise Dubai's urban transformation and to
mimic the sail of a boat.
