You think you can reach the skyscrapers in this city from the tranquility of Dukes The Palm, a Royal Hideaway Hotel . Located in the exclusive area of Palm Jumeirah, from this luxury hotel with a private beach, panoramic views of the sea and Dubai frame a stay where elegance, exclusivity and British hospitality are outstanding characteristics. An ideal place for a family experience in a relaxing, magnificent and welcoming environment.

Luxury is the main feature of 279 rooms and suites and 285 apartments. At Dukes The Palm, a Royal Hideaway Hotel each room is designed with the smallest detail in mind to make your trip a unique experience.

The hotel complements the stay with an exclusive gastronomic offer that unites the best of tradition and innovation: the award-winning Khyber restaurant with its authentic Indian cuisine or the iconic Dukes Bar. Its facilities also include a splendid indoor pool on the 14th floor, as well as an innovative Kids Club for the little ones in the family.

Access to the private beach ensures total exclusivity and provides the perfect setting to enjoy water activities. If you prefer, you can relax with a dip in the temperature regulated infinity pool and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf.

Any special occasion or business trip held in the magnificent setting of the Palm Jumeirah is guaranteed to be a success. In addition, the hotel has 7 meeting rooms and wedding spaces and is located, among others, a 20-minute drive from Dubai Mall and a 30-minute drive from Dubai International Airport.

While rooms at the Burj Al Arab are very expensive, we have to give the hotel credit for the generous room sizes. Entry level rooms at the hotel are 170 square meters (over 1,800 square feet), and are duplex suites. The base rooms here would be considered presidential suites at other hotels.

Furthermore, in the evenings the hotel brings guests canaps (with caviar, naturally), and also has a complimentary happy hour where you can have alcoholic drinks delivered to your room (including wine and liquor).

Yet beneath the superficial exterior, I actually kind of loved our stay at the hotel. From the massive suites, to the truly polished and genuine service, to the ability to stay in this (tacky) icon of a hotel, it was one of the most interesting hotel stays of my life.

I was really surprised to see the tone of this review, from someone who is an experienced world traveller, no less. While it ends on a note of grudging admiration, I feel it very greatly misses the mark of what is really important about the experience of staying at the Burj al Arab.

For instance, it's not important to obsess over the number of Chinese or Russian tourists gaping through the lobby. Who cares? A guest at the hotel will spend most of their time at the hotel enjoying their thoroughly-lavish suite, or the facilities, or the wonderful restaurants. I don't travel, or stay in a hotel, to people-watch.

I feel this review does a disservice to this fascinating hotel, and the staff who work incredibly hard to deliver something that might be said to be beyond a world-class product. But it also does a disservice to the readers who might get a mistaken impression of the place, and because of it deny themselves an opportunity to spend a night or two in a hotel that they'll thoroughly enjoy and never forget.

We have stayed, for instance, at the Baur au Lac in Zurich, Claridge's and The Savoy in London, The Waldorf-Astoria, The Plaza in New York, The Adlon in Berlin, and any number of other 5-Star hotels. One can only conclude that if these indeed are 5-Star hotels, then the Burj is in truth and in fact a 7-Star hotel, and yes, that it is therefore now truly "a thing". The Burj leaves most other hotels in this class so far in the dust that it is in no way fair or realistic to lump it together with the others.

As someone who has stayed at the Burj al Arab several times, who thoroughly and unabashedly enjoys it, and very much looks forward to our next visits, let me give your readers a somewhat different view of the place. The author doesn't seem to enjoy it all that much, so let me offer a take on why royalty, and celebrities, and presidents, top business executives, and the uber-wealthy DO enjoy the place, and like me, want to come back time and time again.

This is Dubai, after all. This is a city whose DNA is to take visual and architectural risks, to push the envelope, to do things done nowhere else on earth, to achieve the seemingly impossible. Thanks to the remarkable vision of the ruler of Dubai, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and his family and predecessors, something has been created out of pure desert that has added a new dimension to human civilization and has set new standards for us to aspire to; it has helped redefine what is possible. People who've been to Dubai can understand what I mean; those who yet haven't can hopefully just take my word for it that the world would be poorer for it were the place to not be there and to have become what it is.

Or did they intend to deliver something vastly different and well out of the ordinary? This is Arabian culture, after all, and part of why I and others enjoy it so much is their love of the visually-dazzling and the effect it has on the viewer. One only has to visit the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi, or the Alhambra in Grenada, or the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, or any number of other mesmerizing Islamic works of art to understand and appreciate that culture, and to quickly learn to not judge it with exclusively Western eyes and tastes.

It's part of Arab culture. Arabs love gold. And so do I. And so do most people. And so have people throughout all of recorded history. What's wrong with that? Just because you don't ever see it in, say, a Marriott, does that make it a bad thing?? I for one think it's wonderful to be surrounded by that level of opulence if one has worked hard and can afford it, and so do most people of means.

So yes, there are bold primary colors juxtaposed against each other in a way that one wouldn't find in a Four Seasons in Toronto, for instance. And thank God for that, since I'm bored to death with that minimalist, sterile, ultra-modern look that one can find in dozens of cookie-cutter hotel chains around the world. I for one can't wait till my next visit to the Burj and be dazzled by bold reds set against gold, set against bright blue (intended, for instance, to reprise the color of the ocean outside).

It was to me especially off-putting, and thoroughly missing the mark, to so relentlessly characterize the hotel's decor as "hideous". Not to mention "weird", "ugly", or "gaudy", or "absolutely ridiculous". "Tacky"? "Superficial"? Compared to what? The Plaza? The St. Francis?

I agree with the commenter who characterized the review as "intolerant" and "judgmental", and that the place was simply "not to the author's taste". Perhaps Ben was just having a grumpy day when he wrote it?
