Have stayed at the Burj a couple of times now -all suites are with King size bed and mirror overhead (eek) - never a problem when 2 guys check in together. Click on the web-site link in my profile for some pictures - pictures from the Burj last Christmas and see how camp their Christmas tree was. The Burj is also very good at removing the set of ladies complimentary toileteries and replacing them with an extra set of men's so it is fairly common practice. Normally one set of men's and one set of women's toilteries set in the bathroom.

No problem with other hotels in the region (Ritz Carlton in Bahrain or the Al Maha in Dubai - both in suites with one King bed). Keep to the luxury end catering to Westerners. Never any issues.

I found it a tad humourous with the airport pickup. Ordered a top end Rolls Royce from the Burj on arrival at the airport. I caught a glimpse of the chauffer begin to walk up with a bunch of flowers before it was quickly whisked away when the hotel agent who greeted us in the airport made the appropriate hand signals while walking us and our bags out of the airport.
