Hotel Burj Al-Arab --- The Arab Tower
Discounted (!) prices during the Dubai Shopping festival are between US$900 and US$2,999 a night!
On a much more practical note, for hotels in Dubai, much of the rest of Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil (!), check out AsiaTravel.com. These people offer amazing reductions -- up to 75% for pre-paid rooms -- on reservations booked over the Internet. Highly recommended We've used them for four years now and have always been extremely well-satisfied.
Unique Qualities: You probably won't be able to afford to stay here. Few can. An all-suite hotel, it is most likely the most spectacular watering hole anywhere in the world. It boasts the world's highest atrium, huge aquaria, a restaurant with glass walls offering an undersea view offshore, and positively gigantic rooms. The smallest suite -- and all 202 are 2-storey duplexes -- is something like 2,500 square meters! For most people, it's simply a tourist sight, but it's one that few will want to miss. They have a very extensive website, though I don't have the URL to hand. As for transport from the airport, you have a choice between a Rolls Royce limousine service or a helicopter.....
