The Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. It's world famous and ranked seven stars with four-digit nightly room rates, so naturally people get curious. For one, we're curious about what makes their hotel so worth that money, and what perhaps they might sell in the gift shop (cause you...

When we saw this ad from Jumeirah Hotels in the Sunday Times Travel mag, we just couldn't help ourselves. We were semi-surprised that Jumeirah's hotel group extended far beyond the Burj, and includes the likes of the Essex House in New York. However, far more surprising was how Shiloh...

The Burj Dubai is the world's first seven-star luxury hotel. And the luxury is a little outrageous (Helipad tennis anyone?) Yet some people might not be a fan of this "vulgar" luxury.Wow..what can I say..an amazing place, but...the whole concept is very vulgar. They have actually employed people to clean...

According to Luxist Jacko's holing up at the Burj: Jackson stayed in the Royal suite with a group of bodyguards. Jackson has been staying in Bahrain since the end of his child molestation trial. We can't think of a more conspicuous place for the King of Pop to bed....

Tennis on a helipad anyone? High above Dubai, at the Burj Al Arab, Roger Federer and Andre Agassi hit the ball around. Since these photos show up on the official Burj site, we are assuming they are not computer generated. Another photo after the jump. Related Stories:· Burj Al Arab...
