The Burj Al Arab
The Burj Al Arab, Dubai’s 321-meter luxury hotel, is located on the shore of the Arabian Gulf. It forms the centerpiece of the world-class Chicago Beach Resort development that includes Jumeirah Beach Resort and Wild Wadi Water Park, a 15-acre water theme park.
The design resembles the spinnaker sail of a J Class yacht, reflecting the seafaring heritage of Dubai. The combination of innovative, efficient structural design with dramatic architecture has produced a striking building that is now an icon for the UAE.
The Jumeirah Beach Hotel
The Jumeirah Beach Hotel contains 600 luxury guest rooms and suites with views of the sea. The hotel is a dynamic 26-story structure, 93 meters tall and 275 meters wide. It is curved in plan and elevation, representing a breaking ocean wave.
