Two years ago my daughter and I had afternoon tea at the Burj and it was fabulous; the highlight of our holiday. I told everyone about it. At the end of December 2008 we went for cocktails to celebrate my daughter's engagement. What a disappointment. The staff were visibly harrassed and on visiting the disabled toilet there was no toilet... more

Yes, it's a lot of money. However, it's one of those things that you just have to do it once in your life time. Of course going in, we knew that Burj had exceptional service, but they were defintely a few notches above most hotels. During our butler's "orientation", he mentioned that they could change the mattress if it was... more

The concept and suites are wonderful, you have to be amazed by the grandeur of this hotel. Like other travelers we found the pool wonderful. the Al Mahara restaurant the food was first class but total overpriced with a glass of wine being GBP30 or 150 Dirham, the Friday brunch was a joke at GBP96 or 495 Dirham the cavier... more

The 7* is self styled, although it has won several awards, a 7* category doesn't exist anywhere except in its promotional literature and PR. The 5* standard of most Hotels in Dubai is 'better' than many other hotels that are ranked as 5* elsewhere in the world anyway. Is it 50% - 100% better than the rest - that is... more

Yes it's expensive, but it's definitely worth doing. It's a great way to see the hotel and also a really good way to celebrate a special occasion. It's like no other afternoon tea we have experienced elsewhere, and we will remember it for a long time. more

We only stayed at the Burj for 3 nights and it all went too quickly. From the moment you step inside you feel special and in total luxury. The staff are very attentive but not in the way. The public areas are amazing especially the water features. The suites are like something out of hollywood and are huge. Everything you... more

The Burj is a special hotel, but it should be at the prices they charge. The service, food and room are all excellent but having stayed there once I would not return unless money was no object. Why would I not return, well I think when the novelty factor wears off you could enjoy other hotels just as much. I... more

Nov 6th, 7:00pm myself and 2 colleagues had a coffee date at the Skyview bar. We had HUGE expectations going into the hotel, especially after just coming from lunch the day before from the Atlantis hotel. The start of the experience was great. The driver pulled up to the hotel gate, and security let us in. As we entered the... more
