Burj Al Arab Hotel, Dubai, UAE



Atkins Design Studio

The Burj Al Arab, is renowned as the most luxurious hotel in the world and, at 321m, is the tallest en suite hotel. It forms the centrepiece of the Chicago Beach Resort Development that encompasses the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the 15 acre themed Wild Wadi Aquapark.

Atkins' was commissioned to provide architectural, engineering and complete construction management services for this building, which stands on its own manmade Island, and is now an icon for the United Arab Emirates. By constructing the hotel on its own Island, not only was considerable space freed up for the construction of the hotel and the theme park but it also lent emphasis to the nautical theme of the design.

The hotel comprises breathtaking water features in the lobby, 202 super lavish suites each with an impressive floor area of 169sqm and state of the art technology on each floor.
