It is the third tallest hotel in the world ( although 39 % of its total height is made up of non-occupiable space ). Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 m ( 920 ft ) from Jumeirah beach and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. The shape of the structure is designed to resemble the sail of a ship. It has a helipad near the roof at a height of 210 m ( 689 ft ) above ground.

The hotel is located on an island of reclaimed land 280 meters offshore of the beach of the former Chicago Beach Hotel. The locale 's name had its origins in the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company which at one time welded giant floating oil storage tanks, known locally as Kazzans on the site. The old name persisted after the old Hotel was demolished in 1997. Dubai Chicago Beach Hotel remained as the Public Project Name for the construction phase of Burj Al Arab Hotel until Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced the new name. Design and construction Burj Al Arab was designed by multidisciplinary consultancy Atkins, led by architect Tom Wright, who has since become co-founder of WKK Architects. The design and construction were managed by Canadian engineer Rick Gregory also of WS Atkins. It 's very similar with the Vasco da Gama Tower, located in Lisbon, Portugal. Construction of the Island began in 1994 and involved up to 2,000 construction workers during peak construction. It was built to resemble the billowing spinnaker sail of a J - class yacht. Two `` wings '' spread in a V to form a vast `` mast '', while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium. The architect Tom Wright said `` The client wanted a building that would become an iconic or symbolic statement for Dubai ; this is very similar to Sydney with its Opera House, London with Big Ben, or Paris with the Eiffel Tower. It needed to be a building that would become synonymous with the name of the country. '' Fletcher Construction from New Zealand was the lead joint venture partner in the initial stages of pre-construction and construction. The hotel was built by South African construction contractor Murray & Roberts and Al Habtoor Engineering and the interior works were delivered by UAE based Depa. The building opened in December 1999. Features Lobby Several features of the hotel required complex engineering feats to achieve. The hotel rests on an artificial island constructed 280 m ( 920 ft ) offshore. To secure a foundation, the builders drove 230 forty - meter - long ( 130 ft ) concrete piles into the sand. Engineers created a ground / surface layer of large rocks, which is circled with a concrete honeycomb pattern, which serves to protect the foundation from erosion. It took three years to reclaim the land from the sea, while it took fewer than three years to construct the building itself. The building contains over 70,000 m ( 92,000 cu yd ) of concrete and 9,000 tons of steel. Inside the building, the atrium is 180 m ( 590 ft ) tall. Burj Al Arab is the world 's third tallest hotel ( not including buildings with mixed use ). The structure of the Rose Rayhaan, also in Dubai, is 11 m ( 36 ft ) taller than Burj Al Arab. Rooms and suites The hotel is managed by the Jumeirah Group. Despite its size, Burj Al Arab holds only 28 double - story floors which accommodate 202 bedroom suites. The smallest suite occupies an area of 169 m ( 1,820 sq ft ), the largest covers 780 m ( 8,400 sq ft ). Suites feature design details that juxtapose east and west. White columns show great influence. Bathrooms are accented by mosaic tile patterns. The Royal Suite, billed at US $ 24,000 per night, is listed at number 12 on World 's 15 most expensive hotel suites compiled by CNN Go in 2012. The Burj Al Arab is very popular with the Chinese market, which made up 25 percent of all bookings at the hotel in 2011 and 2012. Restaurants Al Muntaha Al Mahara Al Muntaha ( `` The Ultimate '' ), is located 200 m ( 660 ft ) above the Persian Gulf, offering a view of Dubai. It is supported by a full cantilever that extends 27 m ( 89 ft ) from either side of the mast, and is accessed by a panoramic elevator. Al Mahara ( `` Oyster '' ), which is accessed via a simulated submarine voyage, features a large seawater aquarium, holding roughly 990,000 L ( 260,000 US gal ) of water. The wall of the tank, made of acrylic glass in order to withstand the water pressure, is about 18 cm ( 7.1 in ) thick. Rating The Burj Al Arab is a five - star hotel, the highest official ranking. While the hotel is sometimes erroneously described as `` the world 's only seven - star hotel '', the hotel management claims to never have done that themselves. In the words of a Jumeirah Group spokesperson : `` There 's not a lot we can do to stop it. We 're not encouraging the use of the term. We 've never used it in our advertising. '' Reception Reviews by architecture critics Burj Al Arab Hotel Interior Burj Al Arab has attracted criticism as well `` a contradiction of sorts, considering how well - designed and impressive the construction ultimately proves to be. '' The contradiction here seems to be related to the hotel 's decor. `` This extraordinary investment in state - of - the - art construction technology stretches the limits of the ambitious urban imagination in an exercise that is largely due to the power of excessive wealth. '' Another critic includes negative critiques for the city of Dubai as well : `` both the hotel and the city, after all, are monuments to the triumph of money over practicality. Both elevate style over substance. '' Yet another : `` Emulating the quality of palatial interiors, in an expression of wealth for the mainstream, a theater of opulence is created in Burj Al Arab... The result is a baroque effect ''. Notable events Several events have taken place on the helipad 210 m ( 689 ft ) above ground to attract media attention. These include : 2004 : Tiger Woods teeing off 2005 : Andre Agassi and Roger Federer playing tennis 2006 : Ronan Keating shot the Music Video for his single `` Iris '' at the Helipad of Burj Al Arab. 2007 : The Today Show broadcast from the Helipad a segment of Where in the World is Matt Lauer ? 2011 : Golfer Rory McIlroy performing a bunker shot. 2013 : Heli - lift of Aston Martin Vanquish. 2013 : David Coulthard performing donuts in a Formula 1 racecar. 2017 : Nick Jacobsen kiteboards down to the sea. In popular culture The last chapter of the espionage novel Performance Anomalies takes place at the top of the Burj Al Arab, ( 1 ) where the spy protagonist Cono 7Q discovers that through deadly betrayal his spy nemesis Katerina has maneuvered herself into the top echelon of the government of Kazakhstan. The Hotel can also be seen in Syriana, Mission : Impossible -- Ghost Protocol and also some Bollywood movies. Richard Hammond included the building in his television series, Richard Hammond 's Engineering Connections. The Burj Al Arab serves as the cover image for the 2009 album Ocean Eyes by Owl City.
