Actually, I am very happy that AMEX did not deduct the bill from my account yet http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

LOL. We can probably imagine .... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

During summer last year I had to make the choice between the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the Burj, and I decided to go for the suite in the JBH. I found the service absolutely outstanding and can't even imagine how this can be topped. But I'm pretty sure I will find out soon, perhaps during - always dreadful cold and dark european - november.

What an unbelievable hotel...thanks for sharing your experiences!
I found this interesting web page about this hotel:

A bit of a preview from my trip, but I think it's appropriate here. But here are a few photos of the lobby of the Burj. Needless to say, I didn't stay there, but thought the Burj lovers here might enjoy seeing them.

Thank you Darren, nice pics

I wonder what causes the price drop between end of october and end of november. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Ah I see, you stayed at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, in one of the suites on the upper floor. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Uli,

thank you for this mouth-watering report! Excellent! I have watched so many reports about this hotel on TV but your report gave me a much better insight! And made me rethink if I shall make use of this offer: http://www.ferien.li/burj-al-arab/ang1-1.htm#

BTW: Here's another Burj al Arab report from 2001 by an anonymus hotel professional (sorry, in German only):

mmmh........ this is still during the hot time.
1999 / 6 = 333 Euro .... but PER PERSON. so please do not do this. i am sure they will not allow this for "one person" only.

book via amex the leading hotels of the world rate of 1850 Dhrs. (about 440 euro PER SUITE). You can also hope to be upgraded to a panormaic suite then.

of course your offer does include the flight but flyertalkers always find cheaper flights http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif ... or use miles ...

Me? No. But someone else? Yes. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks for the pictures Darren. Uli, did you take any pictures that you can share with us?

not really. i took some, but the best pictures are in burj al arab book ... anyway i will check my pictures if there is anything worth posting
