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 {{convert|210|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} above ground.
== Site ==
The beachfront area where Burj Al Arab and [[Jumeirah Beach Hotel]] are located was previously called [[Jumeirah|Chicago Beach]].<ref name="Krane, Jim page 103">Krane, Jim ''City of Mud: Dubai and the Dream of Capitalism'', page 103, St. Martin's Press (15 September 2009)</ref> The hotel is located on an island of [[land reclamation|reclaimed land]], {{convert|280|m|ft|abbr=on}} offshore of the beach of the former ''Chicago Beach Hotel''.

== Design and construction ==
The Burj Al Arab was designed by the multidisciplinary consultancy [[Atkins (company)|Atkins]], led by architect [[Tom Wright (British architect)|Tom Wright]] of [[www.wka.studio|WKA]]. The design and construction were managed by Canadian engineer Rick Gregory, also of WS Atkins. 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]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Burj Al Arab|url=https://www.atkinsglobal.com/en-GB/projects/burj-al-arab|access-date=3 July 2020|website=www.atkinsglobal.com}}</ref> Two "wings" spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium. The setting of a high rise building on saturated soil and the novelty of the project required groundbreaking dynamic analysis and design to take into consideration soil-structure interaction, effect of water, high winds, and helipad among other loads, to help finalize the design and take the project into construction.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chalhoub |first=Michel Soto |url=http://parsons.com |title=Structural Design and Deep Foundation Soil-Structure Interaction of Burj-Al-Arab - A Comparison of Two Alternatives |date=1993 |website=Parsons Engineering}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=August 2023}}
The hotel was built by [[South Africa]]n construction contractor [[Murray & Roberts]], now renamed [[Concor]] and Al Habtoor Engineering. The interior designs were led and created by Khuan Chew and John Coralan of KCA international and delivered by UAE based [[Depa Group]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Pantin|first=Travis|date=17 February 2009|title=Depa announces strong growth|url=https://www.thenational.ae/business/property/depa-announces-strong-growth-1.539070|access-date=2 July 2020|website=The National|language=en}}</ref>
The building opened on 1 December 1999.<ref name="factsheet">{{cite web|title=Media Fact File of Burj Al Arab|url=https://www.jumeirah.com/globalassets/global/jumeirah-group/press-centre-1/press-kits/eng---burj-al-arab-factsheet.pdf|access-date=28 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180807111820/https://www.jumeirah.com/globalassets/global/jumeirah-group/press-centre-1/press-kits/eng---burj-al-arab-factsheet.pdf |archive-date=7 August 2018}}</ref>
The hotel's helipad was designed by Irish architect Rebecca Gernon.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.constructionweekonline.com/article-11222-from-the-inside-out|title=From the inside out|website=Construction Week Online Middle East}}</ref> The helipad is above the building's 59th floor, and has been used as a car race track, a boxing ring, has hosted a tennis match, and the jumping off point for the highest kite surfing jump in history.<ref>{{Cite web|date=1 July 2020|title=Global Gateway|url=https://www.cnn.com/travel/gallery/helipad-burj-al-arab/index.html|access-date=8 July 2020|website=CNN|language=en}}</ref>
== Features ==
Several features of the hotel required complex engineering feats to achieve. The hotel rests on an artificial island constructed {{convert|280|m|ft|abbr=on}} offshore. To secure a foundation, the builders drove 230 {{convert|40|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} concrete [[Deep foundation|piles]] into the sand by drilling method.<ref name="egypteng1">{{cite news

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 [[Land reclamation|reclaim]] the land from the sea, while it took fewer than three years to construct the building itself. The building contains over {{convert|70000|m3|yd3|abbr=on}} of concrete and 9,000 tons of steel, one of which are for the skeletal structural frames.<ref name="egypteng1"/>
Inside the building, the [[Atrium (architecture)|atrium]] is {{convert|180|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hoteliermiddleeast.com/22297-video-burj-al-arabs-15th-anniversary-dream|title=VIDEO: Burj Al Arab's 15th anniversary 'dream'|website=HotelierME}}</ref>
Given the height of the building, the Burj Al Arab is the world's fifth tallest hotel after [[Gevora Hotel]], [[JW Marriott Marquis Dubai]], [[Four Seasons Place Kuala Lumpur]] and [[Rose Rayhaan by Rotana|Rose and Rayhaan by Rotana]]. But if buildings with mixed use were stripped off [[List of tallest hotels in the world|the list]], the Burj Al Arab would be the world's third tallest hotel.

There are six restaurants in the hotel, including:
''Al Muntaha'' ("The Ultimate"), is located {{convert|200|m|ft|abbr=on}} above the [[Persian Gulf]], offering a view of Dubai. It is supported by a full [[cantilever]] that extends {{convert|27|m|ft|abbr=on}} from either side of the mast, and is accessed by a [[Panorama|panoramic]] elevator.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}}
''Al Mahara'' ("Oyster"), which is accessed via a simulated submarine voyage, features a large seawater [[aquarium]], holding roughly {{convert| 990,000|L|gal|abbr=on}} of water. The wall of the tank, made of [[poly(methyl methacrylate)|acrylic glass]] in order to withstand the water pressure, is about {{convert|18|cm|in|abbr=on}} thick.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}}
===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 never to have done that themselves. The term appeared due to a British journalist who had visited the hotel on a tour before the hotel was officially opened. The journalist described Burj al Arab as "more than anything she has ever seen" and therefore referred to it as a seven-star hotel.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Parr|first=Christopher|title=Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, Dubai: Inside The 7 Star Luxury Hotel|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/burj-al-arab-jumeirah-dubai-inside-the-7-star-luxury-hotel-2012-9|access-date=23 July 2020|website=Business Insider}}</ref> 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."<ref name="The National">{{cite news|last=Bundhun|first=Rebecca|date=14 July 2009|title=Hotel star ratings standards long overdue|newspaper=[[The National (Abu Dhabi)|The National]]|url=http://www.thenational.ae/business/travel-tourism/hotel-star-ratings-standards-long-overdue|access-date=10 December 2010}}</ref>
==Reception==
===Reviews by architecture critics===
Burj Al Arab has attracted criticism as well "a contradiction of sorts, considering how well-designed and impressive the construction ultimately proves to be."<ref name="arcUAE"/> 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."<ref name="arcUAE"/> 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".<ref name="arcUAE"/>

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 {{convert|210|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} above ground.
== Site ==
The beachfront area where Burj Al Arab and [[Jumeirah Beach Hotel]] are located was previously called [[Jumeirah|Chicago Beach]].<ref name="Krane, Jim page 103">Krane, Jim ''City of Mud: Dubai and the Dream of Capitalism'', page 103, St. Martin's Press (15 September 2009)</ref> The hotel is located on an island of [[land reclamation|reclaimed land]], {{convert|280|m|ft|abbr=on}} offshore of the beach of the former ''Chicago Beach Hotel''.

== Design and construction ==
The Burj Al Arab was designed by the multidisciplinary consultancy [[Atkins (company)|Atkins]], led by architect [[Tom Wright (British architect)|Tom Wright]] of [[www.wka.studio|WKA]]. The design and construction were managed by Canadian engineer Rick Gregory, also of WS Atkins. 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]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Burj Al Arab|url=https://www.atkinsglobal.com/en-GB/projects/burj-al-arab|access-date=3 July 2020|website=www.atkinsglobal.com}}</ref> Two "wings" spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium. The setting of a high rise building on saturated soil and the novelty of the project required groundbreaking dynamic analysis and design to take into consideration soil-structure interaction, effect of water, high winds, and helipad among other loads, to help finalize the design and take the project into construction.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chalhoub |first=Michel Soto |url=http://parsons.com |title=Structural Design and Deep Foundation Soil-Structure Interaction of Burj-Al-Arab - A Comparison of Two Alternatives |date=1993 |website=Parsons Engineering}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=August 2023}}
The hotel was built by [[South Africa]]n construction contractor [[Murray & Roberts]], now renamed [[Concor]] and Al Habtoor Engineering. The interior designs were led and created by Khuan Chew and John Coralan of KCA international and delivered by UAE based [[Depa Group]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Pantin|first=Travis|date=17 February 2009|title=Depa announces strong growth|url=https://www.thenational.ae/business/property/depa-announces-strong-growth-1.539070|access-date=2 July 2020|website=The National|language=en}}</ref>

The hotel's helipad was designed by Irish architect Rebecca Gernon.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.constructionweekonline.com/article-11222-from-the-inside-out|title=From the inside out|website=Construction Week Online Middle East}}</ref> The helipad is above the building's 59th floor, and has been used as a car race track, a boxing ring, has hosted a tennis match, and the jumping off point for the highest kite surfing jump in history.<ref>{{Cite web|date=1 July 2020|title=Global Gateway|url=https://www.cnn.com/travel/gallery/helipad-burj-al-arab/index.html|access-date=8 July 2020|website=CNN|language=en}}</ref>
== Features ==
Several features of the hotel required complex engineering feats to achieve. The hotel rests on an artificial island constructed {{convert|280|m|ft|abbr=on}} offshore. To secure a foundation, the builders drove 230 {{convert|40|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} concrete [[Deep foundation|piles]] into the sand by drilling method.<ref name="egypteng1">{{cite news

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 [[Land reclamation|reclaim]] the land from the sea, while it took fewer than three years to construct the building itself. The building contains over {{convert|70000|m3|yd3|abbr=on}} of concrete and 9,000 tons of steel, one of which are for the skeletal structural frames.<ref name="egypteng1"/>
Inside the building, the [[Atrium (architecture)|atrium]] is {{convert|180|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hoteliermiddleeast.com/22297-video-burj-al-arabs-15th-anniversary-dream|title=VIDEO: Burj Al Arab's 15th anniversary 'dream'|website=HotelierME}}</ref>
Given the height of the building, the Burj Al Arab is the world's fifth tallest hotel after [[Gevora Hotel]], [[JW Marriott Marquis Dubai]], [[Four Seasons Place Kuala Lumpur]] and [[Rose Rayhaan by Rotana|Rose and Rayhaan by Rotana]]. But if buildings with mixed use were stripped off [[List of tallest hotels in the world|the list]], the Burj Al Arab would be the world's third tallest hotel.

There is also an open event space called the Marina Garden where the team organises award functions, weddings, cocktail reception and many more.
The hotel has a helicopter service with a helipad on the magnificent structure of the building. Many events like Art Maze are held up on the helipad.
===Restaurants===

There are six restaurants in the hotel, including:
''Al Muntaha'' ("The Ultimate"), is located {{convert|200|m|ft|abbr=on}} above the [[Persian Gulf]], offering a view of Dubai. It is supported by a full [[cantilever]] that extends {{convert|27|m|ft|abbr=on}} from either side of the mast, and is accessed by a [[Panorama|panoramic]] elevator.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}}
''Al Mahara'' ("Oyster"), which is accessed via a simulated submarine voyage, features a large seawater [[aquarium]], holding roughly {{convert| 990,000|L|gal|abbr=on}} of water. The wall of the tank, made of [[poly(methyl methacrylate)|acrylic glass]] in order to withstand the water pressure, is about {{convert|18|cm|in|abbr=on}} thick.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}}
===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 never to have done that themselves. The term appeared due to a British journalist who had visited the hotel on a tour before the hotel was officially opened. The journalist described Burj al Arab as "more than anything she has ever seen" and therefore referred to it as a seven-star hotel.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Parr|first=Christopher|title=Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, Dubai: Inside The 7 Star Luxury Hotel|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/burj-al-arab-jumeirah-dubai-inside-the-7-star-luxury-hotel-2012-9|access-date=23 July 2020|website=Business Insider}}</ref> 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."<ref name="The National">{{cite news|last=Bundhun|first=Rebecca|date=14 July 2009|title=Hotel star ratings standards long overdue|newspaper=[[The National (Abu Dhabi)|The National]]|url=http://www.thenational.ae/business/travel-tourism/hotel-star-ratings-standards-long-overdue|access-date=10 December 2010}}</ref>
==Reception==
===Reviews by architecture critics===
Burj Al Arab has attracted criticism as well "a contradiction of sorts, considering how well-designed and impressive the construction ultimately proves to be."<ref name="arcUAE"/> 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."<ref name="arcUAE"/> 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".<ref name="arcUAE"/>
==Notable events==

<p>The Burj Al Arab was designed by the multidisciplinary consultancy <a href="/wiki/Atkins_(company)" title="Atkins (company)">Atkins</a>, led by architect <a href="/wiki/Tom_Wright_(British_architect)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tom Wright (British architect)">Tom Wright</a> of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Www.wka.studio&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Www.wka.studio (page does not exist)">WKA</a>. The design and construction were managed by Canadian engineer Rick Gregory, also of WS Atkins. 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 <a href="/wiki/J-class_yacht" class="mw-redirect" title="J-class yacht">J-class yacht</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a></sup> Two "wings" spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium. The setting of a high rise building on saturated soil and the novelty of the project required groundbreaking dynamic analysis and design to take into consideration soil-structure interaction, effect of water, high winds, and helipad among other loads, to help finalize the design and take the project into construction.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability"><span title="The material near this tag failed verification of its source citation(s).

<p>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 40-metre-long (130 ft) concrete <a href="/wiki/Deep_foundation" title="Deep foundation">piles</a> into the sand by drilling method.<sup id="cite_ref-egypteng1_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-egypteng1-19">[19]</a></sup>
</p><p>Engineers created a ground surface layer of large rocks, which is circled with a concrete <a href="/wiki/Honeycomb" title="Honeycomb">honeycomb</a> pattern, which serves to protect the foundation from erosion. It took three years to <a href="/wiki/Land_reclamation" title="Land reclamation">reclaim</a> the land from the sea, while it took fewer than three years to construct the building itself. The building contains over 70,000 m<sup>3</sup> (92,000 cu yd) of concrete and 9,000 tons of steel, one of which are for the skeletal structural frames.<sup id="cite_ref-egypteng1_19-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-egypteng1-19">[19]</a></sup>

<p>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 never to have done that themselves. The term appeared due to a British journalist who had visited the hotel on a tour before the hotel was officially opened. The journalist described Burj al Arab as "more than anything she has ever seen" and therefore referred to it as a seven-star hotel.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a></sup> 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."<sup id="cite_ref-The_National_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_National-27">[27]</a></sup>

<p>Burj Al Arab has attracted criticism as well "a contradiction of sorts, considering how well-designed and impressive the construction ultimately proves to be."<sup id="cite_ref-arcUAE_23-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-arcUAE-23">[23]</a></sup> 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."<sup id="cite_ref-arcUAE_23-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-arcUAE-23">[23]</a></sup> 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".<sup id="cite_ref-arcUAE_23-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-arcUAE-23">[23]</a></sup>
