The Burj Al Arab, shaped like a sail and towering above the ocean on it's man-made island, may be quaking on its sand foundation as there are many projects claiming to be equal to or better than the best and most hotel in the world currently in the process of construction.
Firstly, the Burj Al Arab has possibly been dealt a blow in terms of the most famous hotels in Dubai. The Atlantis the Palm Dubai just opened with the most expensive fireworks show ever in the world and sits at the head of the Palm Jumeirah Islands, the latest man-made island network off Dubai's coast which was a much more ambitious project than even the island that now supports the Burj Al Arab. However, it is not classified as a seven star hotel but a mere five stars. You wouldn't know it from it's extremely hyped opening ceremonies, though. Also, the Burj Al Arab soars to the title of world's tallest operating hotel, but the Rose Tower in the same city, once complete, should take over that title. Although, it may not reach the opulence of 7 stars.
There are several other projects set to seriously rival the Burj Al Arab, however.
- Royalties Castle in the Philippines
- Morgan Plaza in Beijing
- Laucala Island in Fiji
- Flower of the East in Kish, Iran
- Grand Chola in Chennai, India
- The Centaurus in the somewhat surprising location of Islamabad, Pakistan
Ever since the Burj Al Arab came to be known as the only 7 star hotel in the world and now (as it has competition in this category) one of the most famous hotels in Dubai, others in the world dreamed of creating something similar. Nobody has yet claimed to be an 8 star hotel project but can that be too far behind? When and if that comes to pass, it surely would have to be something special to authentically hold that title. Until then, we will just have to make do with 7 star hotels as the penultimate level for luxury.
